Togo - Lomé Container Terminal Project

The project is to build and operate a container terminal in the port of Lomé within the framework of a concession granted to the Lomé Container Terminal (LCT) company. This is in line with the Togolese government’s sectorial policy for the 2009-2018 period. The project consists of expanding the existing facilities of the harbour in order to enable large container carriers to enter the port of Lomé and to subsequently distribute these containers to neighbouring countries on feeder ships. The building of this infrastructure will be carried out in two (2) phases. Phase I will consist of the construction of a 1,050 m-long dock wall looking inland with 3 docking places, and a 1,315 m-long dock wall facing the sea without equipment, as well as the preparation of a container storage area that looks inland (220,000 m²). The water depth in the inner harbor, the harbor basin and the access fairway will be at 16.60 m zero port.
