NG Industries starts cooperation with the port of Cotonou
The reception at the beginning of September 2011 of the 546 m long berth marked the beginning of the development of the terminal. Following investments in infrastructure and port facilities, the Benin Terminal is now the preferred crossing point for containerized cargo to Benin, Nigeria and inland.
