The Angolan government has opened tenders for the concession of maritime passenger and cargo terminals at the ports of Cabinda and Soyo, in a strategic move to enhance regional logistics and stimulate economic growth.
The 20-year concession contracts will cover the management, operation, and maintenance of the two terminals, with the goal of strengthening coastal shipping (cabotage), improving transport efficiency, and creating employment opportunities.
Positioned as vital gateways for maritime and river trade in northern Angola, the Cabinda and Soyo ports play a key role in connecting Luanda to neighboring coastal regions and supporting sectors such as oil and gas.
The initiative is part of Angola’s broader transport sector reform aimed at modernizing infrastructure, encouraging private investment, and ensuring sustainable, competitive port operations in line with national development policies.
