Lobito port privatises terminal operations

In Angola, Soportos has taken over management of the minerals terminal, while Sogester (a consortium consisting of APM Terminals and local partners) has won the concession for the container terminal and dry dock at the Port of Lobito. In all cases, concessions have been awarded for 25 years, the length being determined sufficient enough for the concessionaires to recover their initial investment.
