AD Ports Group (ADP) has confirmed the signing of a new Head of Terms (HoT) with the Ministry of International Cooperation and Promotion of Public Private Partnership of the Republic of Congo, for a new multipurpose terminal at Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo.
Under this arrangement, ADP has secured exclusive rights to invest in the development, operation, and management of the “New Mole Port” which is intended to handle cargo including containers, general cargo and break-bulk.
The HoT agreement is valid for one calendar year from the date of signing and could lead to a concession agreement, subject to technical, legal, commercial, and environmental due diligence.
ADP is looking to provide the new facility with digital services and technology solutions, plus operating efficiencies accruing from the design, implementation and operation of a single-window system and generally from software development, digital architecture, business analytics, digital operations support, and digital transformation.
Denis-Christel Sassou Nguesso, Minister of International Cooperation and Promotion of Public Private Partnership of the Republic of Congo, notes: “AD Ports’ experience and global network will no doubt add significant value to our efforts to make the ‘New Mole Port’ at Pointe Noire one of the best performing ports on the central west coast of the African continent.”
