ILOGS, a subsidiary of Groupe SNPC, has increased its operational capacity with new installations to become more competitive. These works cost FCfa 35 billion, Les Dépêches de Brazzaville reported.

The installations are located inside the autonomous Port of Pointe-Noire and were commissioned on 12 October in the presence the President of the Republic, Denis Sassou N'Guesso.

They include, among others, a 200 metres wharf extension and a converted area of 40 hectares for the ILOGS oil services centre.

For Alain Ludovic Okoï, Managing Director of the subsidiary, the new infrastructure will have an instant impact on the performances of the oil services centre, due to the demand from oil operators on projects such as Lianzi and Moho nord.
