New deep-water port for Angola

Construction of the deepwater
port in the northern
Angolan town of Caio Litoral,
Cabinda province is set to start
by the middle of this year and
preparatory work is already
under way, according to the
Cabinda provincial governor,
Aldina da Lomba Catembo.
The governor previously
stated that the work was the
largest ever carried out in the
Angolan province, and would
“take Cabinda out of isolation”.
The first phase will include
the extension of the commercial
wharf wall and support for the
36-metre-long platform which
will be extended to meet the
following requirements – a
ship repair section (200 sqm),
a breakwater, access canal (150
metres wide), a new road access
and basin (215 metres wide).
The port is being
constructed by a publicprivate
partnership and will
be implemented in three
phases by Angolan company,
CAioporto SA.
