Matadi Gateway Terminal (MGT), the International Container Terminal Services Inc.’s (ICTSI) operation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, continues to strengthen its operational capacity with the recent acquisition of four new hybrid and automated rubber-tired gantries (RTG).
The acquisition, which expands the terminal’s RTG fleet to eight units, is part of MGT’s commitment to support the country’s economic growth.
After commissioning, the RTGs will further improve yard productivity and afford the terminal added flexibility to offer more solutions in handling increasing cargo volume.
“With these additional cranes, MGT will improve vessel and truck turnaround times, leading to faster services and enhanced safety standards,” MGT general manager Timothee Jeannin said.
“These modern equipment also reduce the risk of technical failures by distributing the workload more effectively, guaranteeing more reliable and continuous operation.”
To further consolidate its position as a key trade gateway for D.R. Congo, MGT has also initiated civil works to further improve efficiency and enhance customer experience.
These include the construction of a 2.65-kilometer road linking the Port of Matadi to key transport routes, expansion of the storage yard to accommodate growing cargo volumes, and extension of parking facilities.
These infrastructure upgrades are expected to streamline cargo movement, prevent congestion and support MGT’s long-term growth.
