This financing will enable the construction of a new 750-meter linear quay by 2027. This strategic investment, totaling EUR361m, aims to enhance the operational capacity of Congo's sole maritime outlet and support the economic development of the country and the sub-region.

The A&O Shearman team is led by partner Amine Bourabiat, with senior associate Dorian Le and Ludmila Faïd on the project financing.
