The Freetown Container Terminal extension works commenced just over two years ago, with funds from Bollore Ports, a sub-division of Bollore Transport and Logistics and was fully completed before the target completion date of September 2018.
On Thursday 30th August 2018, Country Manager of Bollore Transport and Logistics, Fabjanko Kokan said that the $120 million investment is in line with government’s development aspirations to transform the Queen Elizabeth II Quay into a large state-of the art transshipment hub in West Africa. He said that the project will create job opportunities, raise the port’s level of income and revenue generation.
The Sierra Leone Telegraph reported that president Julius Maada Bio will officially open the expanded port later this year.
