Port of Lomé: controls reinforced at the entrances and exits of Moles 1 and 2

Since September 28, 2026, Lomé's Autonomous Port has intensified controls at the entrances and exits of Moles 1 and 2, including systematic searches of vehicles and physical checks of individuals. The measure aims to improve security and combat cargo theft, although no specific data on theft levels are provided. This reinforcement coincides with the port's continued growth in container traffic, reaching 2.4 million TEUs in 2025, a 16% increase from the previous year.
