Arrival of 15,000 teu vessel marks “new horizon” for central Africa

MSC has hailed the arrival of a 366 m-long 15,000 teu vessel at the Port of Pointe-Noire in Congo-Brazzaville as a “new horizon” for central Africa.

The arrival of the MSC Virgo is part of the carrier’s expansion plans to extend its network in sub-Saharan Africa by redesigning its service to the West African coast.

The shipping line hopes that its renewed presence in the Port of Pointe-Noire will serve as a gateway for international trade, increase the volumes handled, and contribute to the growth of economic activity in the country and Central Africa.
