As part of a $150 million contract secured in a joint venture with AD Ports Group, the Congolese company is preparing to build the future container terminal in Pointe-Noire.<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is both a consecration and a challenge. MBTP, one of the most active construction groups in the sub-region, has been selected as part of a consortium awarded a maritime works and surface development contract valued at approximately $150 million for the construction of the new Noatum Ports container terminal in Pointe-Noire. The contracts were signed on May 7, 2026 in Brazzaville, in the presence of the Congolese Prime Minister, Anatole Collinet Makosso, at an official ceremony marking the Congolese government’s commitment alongside AD Ports Group (ADPORTS), the Emirati port giant listed on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange (ADX).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The joint venture formed with MAR CONTRACTING SARLU is thus entrusted with two strategic aspects of the project: maritime works – including the design and construction of the quay wall, marine structures, crane foundations, and sea-side structures – as well as surface developments, which include the container storage area, operational and administrative buildings, service networks, and electrical substations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Hassan Attie, General Manager of MBTP, this contract is in line with the company’s established positioning on high value-added infrastructure projects. “These projects reflect the maturity of MBTP SA and its ability to meet the expectations of the most demanding partners,” he said during a previous large-scale international operation. This philosophy is confirmed, this time in Pointe-Noire, by the trust placed by AD Ports Group in the Congolese company for one of the most structuring port projects ever undertaken in Central Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terminal under construction will cover an area of 100,000 m\u00b2 and will have a quay of 420 meters in length with a draft of 16 meters, designed to accommodate Patagonia-class vessels – among the largest container ships operating on African routes. This is part of a 30-year concession – extendable by an additional 20 years – granted by the Congolese government to AD Ports Group, in partnership with CMA Terminals, a subsidiary of the CMA CGM group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the technical performance, the project carries an explicit economic and social ambition. Up to 9,000 direct and indirect jobs are expected, with 800 positions generated by the construction phase itself. For MBTP, whose portfolio already exceeds 1,000 direct and indirect jobs in Congo, this project represents an additional driver for the local construction sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivery is expected within approximately two years. By the time of this deadline, Pointe-Noire should have changed in size, and MBTP will have literally laid the foundations for it.<\/p>\n
