Teams from Terminals du Bassin du Congo (TBC), a subsidiary of Bolloré Ports, were able to launch 3 pusher boats of more than 50 tonnes each. On July 25, 2022, the teams of Terminaux du Bassin du Congo (TBC), a subsidiary of Bolloré Ports, were able to launch 3 pusher boats of more than 50 tonnes each on behalf of a forestry client. A difficult operation for a terminal equipped with cranes of up to 40 tonnes. Delivered in several batches to the river port of Brazzaville, the 3 boats were fully assembled, welded and set up there by the client for three (03) months. Their floating by the TBC teams required numerous studies, strong involvement from the HSE, crane operators and the simultaneous use of two cranes. “At the start of this adventure, the client was not very reassured. But our expertise, our security procedures and our commitment to the preservation of our clients’ assets were the key factors in his decision. The success of this operation makes us proud. The customer is completely satisfied with our work,” maintains Dzema AYESSA-NDINGA, Deputy Managing Director of Congo Basin Terminals TBC.
