Project Description

 Benin Terminal (“BT” or the “Company”), the concessionaire of the container terminal of the port of Cotonou (the “Port”), has embarked on a EUR 165.5 million investment plan to upgrade its terminal and purchase new equipment (the “Project”).

This Project is embedded in the wider expansion program of the Port under the coordination of Port Autonome de Cotonou (“PAC”), the state-owned entity in charge of the management and development of the Port.

The initial concession between BT, PAC and the State of Benin was signed in 2009. In July 2022, as part of the PAC expansion program, the parties signed a new concession of 27 years.
