Sogester invests US$155m in Luanda

The money has been spent on new equipment, including 20 trucks and four cranes, a computer operating system, and the training of staff.

With the port handling up to 85% of Angola’s imports every year, previous investment had focused on repairing the terminal’s quays and dockside and laying asphalt throughout the facility.

“We started operating in 2007 and are trying to set up conditions to make the Port of Luanda more efficient,” said Sogester’s deputy director, Patrick Anderson, adding that the small size of the port was one of the challenges facing Sogester.
