Port of Pointe-Noire proves its capabilities


The arrival of the ‘MSC Virgo’, a 366 m, 15,000 teu vessel, at the port of Pointe-Noire (Republic of the Congo) on 27 February, is part of MSC’s expansion plans to extend its network in sub-Saharan Africa by redesigning its services to the West African coast.

 

The port of Pointe-Noire is strategic for MSC’s operations in Central Africa and provides an essential link to the region. The new call will enable direct and quick exchanges with Asia and Europe. It also confirms the port’s key position as a transhipment platform for goods destined for Angola and Namibia.

 

MSC added that the combination of the three maritime services calling at this port - the Africa Express, the Angola service and the Matadi feeder, liaising with the DRC - and the intermodal solutions to/from Pointe-Noire and Matadi “will offer a seamless end-to-end experience.” (ah)
