Luanda Port, Angola's most vital maritime hub, is strategically positioned along the country's northwestern coast within Bengo Bay. Located approximately 239 nautical miles south of Lobito Port and 260 nautical miles north of Cape Point, it serves as a critical node in West African shipping routes. In recent years, the port's unique geographical advantages and modern infrastructure have attracted growing international trade activity.
The port currently operates five terminals equipped with seven berths spanning 1,210 meters in total length, with maximum water depth reaching 10.56 meters—a configuration that enhances its cargo handling capacity. Terminal 1 features two dedicated berths for ocean-going general cargo vessels, while Terminal 2 primarily accommodates oil tankers. Terminal 3 offers dual berthing facilities specialized for mineral and grain exports.
Complementing its maritime operations, Luanda Port benefits from proximity to an international airport, facilitating efficient sea-air cargo connections that amplify its significance within global shipping networks. As Angola's economy continues to expand, Luanda Port's untapped potential positions it to unlock new commercial opportunities and serve as a platform for international partnerships.
