Port of Luanda: a new boost for Angola’s competitiveness and business opportunities
The Port of Luanda is entering a new phase of expansion and modernisation, strengthening its strategic role in Angola’s supply chains and commercial relations with regional and international markets.
DP World has announced a 10-year extension of its concession for the Multipurpose Terminal at the Port of Luanda, extending the agreement until 2051, together with a further US$90 million investment over the next two years. Since beginning operations at the terminal in 2021, DP World has already invested more than US$260 million in its modernisation.
The expansion programme will increase the terminal’s capacity to 1.2 million TEUs, extend the quay to approximately 830 metres, and introduce new equipment to improve operational efficiency and capacity.
A strategic infrastructure for Angola’s economy
Beyond the expansion of a port facility, this investment represents an important step towards strengthening Angola’s logistics competitiveness.
The Port of Luanda occupies a strategic position on the Atlantic and serves as an important gateway connecting Angola to international trade routes and regional markets.
A more modern and efficient port infrastructure can help facilitate trade, strengthen supply chains, support industrial activity and create better conditions for companies seeking to invest or expand their operations in Angola.
New opportunities for companies and investors
For the private sector, the development of the Port of Luanda can generate opportunities well beyond port operations.
Logistics, transport, distribution, industry, trade, warehousing and related services can all benefit from increased capacity and connectivity.
For international investors, it is also a significant signal: strengthening strategic infrastructure is essential to support economic growth, diversification and Angola’s integration into regional and global value chains.
Angola and the world: building bridges for new business
For Angolan Business Beyond Border (ABBB), developments such as this highlight the importance of closely following Angola’s economic transformation and the opportunities emerging from it.
Promoting and strengthening economic relations between Angola and the world means connecting companies, investors and partners, facilitating access to opportunities and contributing to sustainable, long-term business relationships.
The strengthening of the Port of Luanda is therefore more than an infrastructure project: it is part of Angola’s drive to strengthen its position within international economic networks and create new opportunities for business.
