During his speech, the Managing Director of Abidjan Port Authority announced that more that 1000 billion CFAF have been invested by the Ivorian State in the Abidjan Port over a period of nine (09) years in order to reposition it as a leading port . Moreover, he expressed his wish to fulfill his dream of seeing the Abidjan Port become a true industrial port complex with the development of free zones on its 3500 ha land reserves, located in « Ile Boulay » and on the west side of vridi canal.
Mr Philippe LABONNE , vice president of Bollore Trust intervening on behalf of Côte d’Ivoire Terminal, the statutory company , stated that this ultra modern terminal will be fitted with 06 shore gantries, 13 yard gantry cranes and 36 tractors among others . The container will also be certified « Green Terminal » thanks to its equipment supplied with electricity.
For his first visit in Abidjan Port, the President of the Republic expressed his pride for the work done, and indicated that the second Terminal project is dear to his heart owing to its impact on employment. As a matter of fact the project, once in operation, will provide 450 direct jobs.
