Africa Global Logistics (AGL) recently presented its 2027-2030 strategy for the Autonomous Port of San Pedro, structured around 4 projects intended to strengthen its logistics capacities and its influence.

The second, a port logistics base, provides nearly 400 linear meters of quays with customs and non-customs spaces, to streamline the transit, handling, storage and distribution of goods in the face of growing flows.
The third project, the AGL West Logistics Hub, is an integrated platform of 15 to 20 hectares on the San Pedro-Soubré axis, dedicated to western Ivory Coast. According to the Head of AGL San Pedro agency, Dieudonné Gaibai, this infrastructure will capture the flow of goods from western Ivory Coast, Mali and eastern Guinea before their transport to the port. “This platform will notably include warehouses intended to support import and export activities for the benefit of western Ivory Coast as well as the countries of the sub-region served by the Port of San Pedro,” he said. The fourth component, the AGL Cavally Border Base, provides for a logistics base dedicated to mining and oil activities in Tabou, positioning San Pedro as a natural logistics gateway to Liberia and the sub-region. Reacting to this presentation, Pascal Dally underlined that AGL's vision is fully in line with the orientations of the port's development master plan for 2035.
