Lobito Atlantic Railway Sets Traffic and Port Handling Records, Strengthening Lobito Corridor
At the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026, Lobito Atlantic Railway (LAR) achieved significant operational milestones, reinforcing the Lobito Corridor’s position as a strategic logistics platform for regional and international trade.
In December 2025, LAR recorded its highest monthly throughput to date, handling 37,000 tonnes of cargo across both domestic and international traffic.
Building on this momentum, January 2026 marked another landmark achievement when LAR facilitated the arrival of the largest sulfur bulk carrier ever handled at the Mining Terminal of the Port of Lobito.
The vessel delivered 50,000 tonnes of sulfur and was received in close coordination with LAR’s logistics partners, Ameropa and Tradevis.
These achievements highlight the continued growth of LAR’s operations, the increasing scale of cargo volumes moving along the Lobito Corridor, and the effectiveness of its integrated rail-and-port logistics model.
Lobito Atlantic Railway reaffirmed its commitment to operational efficiency, service reliability, and the facilitation of regional and international trade, as it continues to expand capacity and strengthen its role within Southern and Central Africa’s logistics network.
