Monrovia, Liberia – APM Terminals has made an innovative donation of various IT equipment to the management of the National Port Authority (NPA) in order to support the NPA’s Digital Automation Initiative.

Receiving the equipment, the Managing Director of the Port, Sékou Dukuly said the donation was achieved through serious managerial discussions and patriotic negotiations on behalf of the Government of Liberia.
At the same time, Director Dukuly underlined the importance of these kinds of partnerships in accomplishing the NPA’s strategic goals and demanded even more collaboration. As a director, he said he looks forward to developing a stronger and more mutually beneficial connection with APM Terminals, and he says the support shows the possibilities of effective collaborations.
“Today, the Management of APM Terminals, for the first time in almost 14 years of concession operations at the Freeport of Monrovia, handed over 112 digital (IT) equipment,” he explained, “is a great accomplishment at the NPA under my managerial watch.”
However, Dukuly expressed profound gratitude to APM Terminals for their invaluable contribution. It is anticipated that the donated equipment would greatly improve the NPA’s digitalization efforts by simplifying APM Terminal operations through a digital link with the port.
