Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 33399, member: 636"] The Banjul port has no waiting ships for the first time since the Turkish company Albayrak Group began managing operations through its subsidiary Alport. Manager Cem Ozturk shared this news during a media tour of the empty jetty. He called it a major achievement compared to when they started operations, when about 11 ships typically waited to unload cargo at any given time. Ozturk told reporters that Gambians can ship goods directly to Banjul without worrying about delays. New equipment will arrive soon to help maintain these improved conditions. The manager said these changes would strengthen the national economy, benefiting all citizens. Alport operates the port under an agreement between Albayrak Group and the Gambia Ports Authority. The elimination of ship queues marks a significant improvement in port efficiency. Reporters observed the cleared jetty area during their tour of the facilities. [/QUOTE]
