Terminal Investment LTd (TIL), MSC’s terminal group, has announced a €700 million investment in two container terminals in the port of Le Havre.
In particular, TIL has bought the French Perrigault Group’s stakes in Terminal Porte Océance (TPO) and Terminal de Normandie MSC (TNMSC).
The investment will create 1,100 jobs over the next six years, including 900 new dockworkers, while the purchase of new equipment will also enable the port of Le Havre to handle up to 24,000 TEU boxships.
