THE PORT OF NOUAKCHOTT STRENGTHENS ITS TOWING CAPACITIES
Our Board of Directors approved the establishment of a towing company which has the capacity to tow large boats, in partnership between the port and the European group Boluda, one of the leading operators in Europe. After months of negotiations led by His Excellency Mr. SID'AHMED RAISS General Director of the port surrounded by his staff, this European giant in maritime operations, already present on all continents in more than twenty countries and possessing capable tugboats to tow boats of more than 20,000 TEU, has achieved a win-win partnership with our port, thus reflecting its desire to share our development strategy and benefit from our diverse assets offering exceptional prospects for the development of port activities. Since 2020, our port has established strategic partnerships with major European operators who show a particular interest in supporting us in our prospects.
