The Government of Angola launched this Wednesday, in Soyo, Zaire Province, the Public Tender for the Concession of the Operation of Port Services in the Maritime Passenger and Cargo Terminals of the Port of Cabinda and in the River Passenger and Cargo Terminals of the Port of Soyo. This strategic initiative aims to strengthen regional logistics, improve mobility and boost the country's economic growth.
The process initiated today arises within the scope of Presidential Order No. 210/23, of 29 August, which authorises the opening of the tender for the award of concession contracts for the management, operation and maintenance of these terminals, for a period of 20 years.
Within 40 working days after the publication of the public tender notice in Jornal de Angola, investors interested in developing and optimising the operation of these public assets can submit their proposals, in accordance with the requirements and factors set out in the documents of the procedure defined by the Ministry of Transport.
Connected to Luanda and ports in neighbouring countries, Cabinda and Soyo are central hubs in maritime and river trade in the northern region, linking cities, populations and companies from different sectors, including oil.
In addition to the development of the cabotage sector in northern Angola, the management of the concession will allow the creation of jobs, the improvement of freight and passenger transport logistics, and a better use of existing resources, ensuring a more competitive and sustainable operation, in line with efficiency and sustainability policies in the transport sector in Angola.
The launching ceremony of the Tender for the Concession of the Passenger and Cargo Terminals of the Ports of Cabinda and Soyo was chaired by the Secretary of State for Civil Aviation, Maritime and Port Sectors, Rui Carreira.
