Arrangements can also be made for transhipment of rolling cargo in any of these ports, which are handled directly by EAS expertises. Since the beginning of the service, machinery coming from ports in Atlantic Europe, North America and the Middle East have been handled and transhipped this way, arriving safely and fast to Equatorial Guinea and other destination ports in West Africa.

 

The newly built first stage of the port of Malabo, in use since February 2.009, has made congestion lower and, due to the new ramp facilities in the port, operation technically easier and therefore faster.
