About us - Luanda Ports

A Gateway to Global Markets

Noatum Ports Luanda Terminal is strategically located at the centre of Angola’s capital, Luanda, and enhances accessibility for maritime transportation. The terminal will serve as a gateway to global markets, connecting Angola with multiple international destinations. The facility’s role extends beyond mere logistics; it serves as a catalyst for economic development by attracting investment, and fostering business opportunities. The terminal's operations contribute significantly to Angola's GDP and employment opportunities, making it a vital component of the nation's economic framework.

The Terminal is currently handling Containers, General Cargo, Ro-Ro, & Bulk cargo.

The redeveloped terminal will have 16m draft and use ship-to-shore cranes and yard Rubber Tyred Gantries for efficient handling of Containers.

The Terminal can make use of the Multiparques Viana off dock (custom bonded) facility - (operated by Multiparques, a renowned local logistic operator and investment partner) to cater for efficient handling of cargo.

Noatum Terminals Luanda plan to continue operations in a nearby Terminal during the re-development period until the terminal is ready to handle full operations. Redevelopment is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.

Serving as Angola’s maritime gateway along the corridor, the Port of Luanda plays an important role in Angola’s domestic economy by handling more than 76% of the country’s container and general cargo volumes. It is well situated to capture the anticipated growth in the country’s container volumes, which are projected to rise at an average annual rate of 3.3%. The port serves as one of the main transshipment hubs for Central-West Africa by enabling maritime trade access to land-locked countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia.

The port is positioned along heavily trafficked shipping routes (Asia to Southern and West Africa), making it well located to potentially serve West/Central Africa for container transit traffic, and, once the redevelopment is completed, to support calls by larger vessels trading on these routes.
