Port of AbidjanContracting and Project Management Assistance

The new Abidjan container terminal is being built in two phases. The first, under the Port Autonome d’Abidjan project, involved excavating the new earthwork and building the quay walls. The second phase, which is the subject of the present operation, concerns the construction of the platform itself, as well as all the equipment required for operation (crane tracks, networks, pavements, operating buildings, etc.). This phase is managed by CIT. The work to be carried out therefore concerns the construction of the terminal, the main features of which are as follows:
