Description

Lomé Container Terminal, a newly constructed port in Lomé, Togo. FMO financed EUR 25 mln (2011), this is a new round in 2015 of EUR 10 mln. A consortium of DFIs, including FMO, financed the construction of the port and this phase of the project will be completed in 2015. FMO and two other DFIs have now provided a follow up loan package to finance additional cranes to enable the port to handle a larger volume of containers. Being a logistical hub, the port has an important economic role for Togo and the countries surrounding it. It stimulates regional transport while, being a state of the art port in West-Africa, it also functions as a role model for other port operators in the region.
