AD <\/strong>Ports <\/strong>kicks<\/strong> off construction on Angolan port:<\/strong> AD Ports, Unicargas, and Multiparques have laid the foundation stone for the Noatum Ports Luanda Terminal at Luanda port, according to a press release<\/a> published last week. The revamp \u2014 for which the company earmarked USD 250 over the first three years \u2014 is scheduled to be completed in 1Q 2027. <\/p>\n

REFRESHER- <\/strong>AD Ports clinched<\/a> a 20-year concession with Angola\u2019s Luanda Port Authority to operate and upgrade the Luanda multipurpose port terminal last year. The port operator tapped<\/a> US firm Mar Construction and Sidara\u2019s engineering consultancy subsidiary Dar Al Handasah earlier this year. <\/p>\n

On the terminal: <\/strong>The revamped terminal \u2014 spanning 192k sqm \u2014 will handle general cargo, containers, and RoRo operations, the press release said. Upon completion, the terminal\u2019s container capacity will increase to 350k TEUs from 25k, with RoRo volumes surpassing 40k vehicles. It is expected to be the only terminal in the port able to handle Super Post-Panamax vessels of up to 14k TEUs.<\/p>\n

The Luanda port currently handles over 76% of Angola\u2019s <\/strong>container and general cargo volumes, <\/strong>and serves as one of Central-West Africa\u2019s key transhipment hubs, enabling landlocked countries \u2014 including the DRC and Zambia \u2014 to access maritime trade.<\/p>\n

AD Ports has been ramping up its Angola operations: <\/strong>The Abu Dhabi-based port operator inked a slew of MoUs with Angolan private and public sector players earlier this year<\/a>, covering digitalization and streamlining of customs, boosting its trucking fleet, and ramping up ground handling capacity, among other agreements.<\/p>\n
