MPS has procured and installed an additional Container Scanner at MPS Terminal 3 aiming to improve operational efficiency at the port. This investment brings to 6, the total number of Drive-Through Container Scanners installed at the terminal.

Commenting on the development while handing over to the Operations Team, The Head of Construction, Mr Matthieu Ferraro indicated that MPS consistency in the port development and innovative vision has led to this.

When asked if this was not going to result in redundant capacity considering the existence of 5 fully functional scanners. He explained that the rationale behind this is much more than redundant capacity as the 6th scanner will serve as a back up to the other 5 scanners during the routine maintenance without interrupting the flow of cargo.

When you look at the growth of volumes, since the start of operations at MPS Terminal 3, there has been steady volume increase. In addition, I would say this is being proactive to have reserve capacity and a good response to the foreseen future, said Mr. Ferraro.

CEO of MPS, Mr Mohamed Samara highlighted the potentials of the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) which begins January 2021, just 2 months away. 

While we advocate to play a pivotal role as a nation, we must also look at the vital investments that will gear up our facilities to present a secure trading platform and enhance our role as a gateway to the economy, said Mr Samara.

The HCVP Scanner is a latest of its kind drive-through portal for the inspection of trucks, containers and other vehicles providing Customs Officers with cargo manifest verification against the captured X-Ray images, reducing the need for manual inspections. It can also detect drugs, explosives and weapons.
