A consortium of two Mota-Engil companies has won the tender to revitalize the Porto-Amboim Naval Shipyard (Paenal), an infrastructure designed for the oil industry, announced Sonangol.
In a statement, the state-owned oil company revealed that four companies participated in the tender for Paenal’s revitalization, which includes implementing a maintenance, repair, and shipbuilding project. Two companies were disqualified for not meeting the requirements.
Sonangol deemed the consortium of Mota-Engil, Engenharia e Construção Africa, S.A., and Mota-Engil Angola to have submitted the most advantageous technical and economic proposal for operating this asset, which is part of the privatization program.
The public tender for the concession to operate the Paenal facilities, a shipyard for manufacturing and integrating facilities for the oil and gas industry, was launched in December 2023 and concluded on May 31, 2024.
As a shareholder, Sonangol aims to expand the scope of Paenal’s activities to include vessel repair, maintenance, manufacturing, and other related activities.
