en.Wedoany.com Reported - AD Ports Group recently announced the awarding of three major contracts for the design and construction of quay and landside infrastructure, as well as the supply of crane equipment, for the Nouatou Port terminal in Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo. The total value of these contracts is approximately AED 735 million (equivalent to USD 200 million).
The three contracts were awarded to specialized contractors in different fields. The quay infrastructure construction contract will cover berth reinforcement, yard paving, and related ancillary works, while the landside infrastructure contract includes road connections, warehousing facilities, and administrative office building construction. The crane equipment supply contract involves the manufacturing and installation of multiple quay cranes and yard cranes to enhance terminal handling efficiency.
AD Ports Group holds a 90% operational stake in the terminal, with the remaining 10% held by the Congolese National Petroleum Company. As a vital maritime hub for the Republic of Congo, the upgrade and renovation of the Port of Pointe-Noire will increase its annual throughput capacity, enabling it to handle more containers and breakbulk cargo. Upon project completion, the terminal will better serve trade flows in the Central African region, particularly the export of mineral resources and agricultural products.
AD Ports Group stated that these contracts mark a key step in the company's expansion of its African port network. Located on the west coast of Africa, the Republic of Congo possesses the potential to develop a port economy. This investment will not only help enhance local infrastructure levels but also provide more reliable logistics options for the regional supply chain. Project design work is expected to commence soon, with a construction period of approximately 24 to 30 months.
