Chinese Government donates two mobile container scanners worth $4.8 million USD in 2017

On September 30, 2017 in a ceremony attended by Prime Minister of Tunisia Youssef Chahed, the Chinese Government donated two vehicle-mounted container scanners to the Government of Tunisia. The value of the donation was $4.8 million USD (TND 12 million dinars). The scanners were earmarked for use by the Tunisian Customs in the Port of La Goulette (ميناء حلق الوادي) for maritime control and surveillance purposes. China National Instruments Import & Export (Group) Corporation was responsible for the implementation of the aid, including training Tunisians in its use. Nuctech Company Limited was also involved in the donation. The equipment was officially put into use at the port on December 5, 2017. The Chinese Government had previously two mobile container scanners to the Port of La Goulette in 2015, as captured by project ID#56666.
