About Portus
Founded by Youssef Imghi after more than thirty years leading port organisations and major infrastructure projects, Portus brings public and private actors concrete experience of decision, implementation and operation.
Our Approach
Portus works solely as an adviser. The firm holds no interest in the construction, the supply of equipment or the financing of the projects it supports. That independence lets it weigh each option against the client's objectives alone.
Assignments are led by experienced people, directly involved in the analysis, the discussions and the trade-offs. Clients therefore work with those who actually carry the advice and stand behind its conclusions.
Where a project calls for particular technical, financial, legal or environmental skills, Portus brings together the specialists the assignment requires while keeping the whole coherent.
Who We Work With
Governments, port authorities, institutions, investors and operators responsible for defining, arbitrating and carrying through structuring projects.
Companies seeking to establish or expand their activities in African markets, taking account of their sectoral, institutional and partnership environment.
Portus acts as a strategic adviser on market access and development, not as a business introducer.
Strategy firms, engineering consultancies, law firms and financial advisers seeking port expertise and a thorough understanding of African contexts.
Portus acts as a sector expert within multidisciplinary teams, in coordination with the lead adviser.
