Owendo Container Terminal (OCT) announced that it has recently expanded its fleet with the acquisition of six new Terberg YT193 port tractors.
This cutting-edge equipment, specially designed for container unloading and loading operations as well as for their movement within the terminal, reinforces the Terminal’s operational capacities.
After obtaining the Green Terminal label in May 2022 and the ISO 14001 version 2015 certification in December 2023, the company continues to equip itself with the latest generation of technologies. This new equipment outperforms older models in terms of environmental friendliness, thanks to reduced fuel consumption and minimized pollutant emissions. In addition, they are equipped with ergonomic seats, designed to improve the health and safety of operators, thus contributing to increased productivity.
This transition to a more modern fleet reflects OCT’s commitment to environmental sustainability and operational efficiency.
« The acquisition of these new Terberg YT193 terminal tractors is part of our ongoing commitment to providing quality services to our customers, while improving working conditions and respecting the environment. Not only are we strengthening our ability to efficiently manage container flows, but we are also reaffirming our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint,” said Laurent Goutard, General Manager of OCT.
Today, Owendo Container Terminal has a total fleet of 24 harbor tractors, each playing a crucial role in supporting and strengthening port operations at the Port of Owendo.
Owendo Container Terminal (OCT) is the operator of the container terminal at the Port of Owendo in Gabon. A major player in the country’s logistics chain, OCT employs nearly 300 Gabonese and develops a subcontracting policy that generates nearly a thousand indirect jobs. Each year, OCT also carries out actions to support local populations in partnership with NGOs in many areas related in particular to education and the environment.
