Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Even though the international port groups Bollor\u00e9 and Maersk are ambitious, they still only have a small presence in Africa\u2019s container terminals, which are dominated by a few select operators. Here is a visual overview with information about the most powerful players who remain at the helm of the continent’s ports.<\/b><\/p>\n

Two of the world\u2019s top five, China\u2019s Cosco Shipping Ports and Singapore\u2019s PSA International, are completely absent from the continent, if one excludes Cosco\u2019s minority stake (20%) in the large Egyptian terminal of Port Said, located at the northern entrance to the Suez Canal. China\u2019s Hutchison Ports, another global giant, has only gained a small foothold in Egypt.<\/p>\n

The continent, Bollor\u00e9\u2019s future ex-raison d\u2019\u00eatre?<\/b><\/p>\n

Africa is first and foremost the hunting ground of a group that has long made it its raison d\u2019\u00eatre, namely Bollor\u00e9. Although the French family-owned conglomerate, headed by Vincent Bollor\u00e9, is only marginally present in the world\u2019s other ports (in India, Timor and Haiti, after even exiting French ports in 2019), it is the undisputed leader of the continent\u2019s main port concession market, West Africa. More often than not, Bollor\u00e9 has won bids in association with APM Terminals, the port subsidiary of the world\u2019s (and Africa\u2019s) number one container shipping company, Denmark\u2019s Maersk.<\/p>\n

The two groups seem to have a lot of potential at three West African ports \u2013 Tema in Ghana, Pointe-Noire in Congo-Brazzaville, and Abidjan in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire \u2013 as well as a new terminal under construction, TC2. APM Terminals, in particular, is an African port success story as it is dominant in Morocco and more precisely in Tanger Med, where it controls two of the four terminals.<\/p>\n

APM Terminals also has a foothold with Bollor\u00e9 in Conakry, while the French group is a service provider to the Dutch group at the APMT terminal in Monrovia. The two groups have only experienced one setback, in Douala, where their concession was not renewed on 1 January 2020. However, the duo have since had many legal victories over the autonomous port.<\/p>\n
