AD Ports Group Awards Contracts for $250M Luanda Port Modernization

AD Ports Group has awarded contracts to Mar Construction Civil & Obras Publicas and Dar Al-Handasah Consultants Shair & Partners for the modernization of the Noatum Ports Luanda Terminal in Angola.

Mar Construction will be responsible for designing and building both the topside and marine infrastructure, while Dar Al-Handasah will manage the project and oversee construction supervision.

Launched on January 30, 2025, the upgrade aims to transform the terminal into a state-of-the-art facility handling general cargo, containers, and roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) operations.

Upon completion, the terminal will be capable of accommodating vessels carrying up to 14,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), and will feature cutting-edge technology and IT systems.

Expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027, the project will increase the terminal’s handling capacity tenfold—from 25,000 to 250,000 TEUs—and raise Ro-Ro capacity to over 40,000 vehicles.

The modernization effort is backed by a $250 million investment commitment through 2026 from AD Ports Group, under a 20-year concession agreement signed with the Luanda Ports Authority in April 2024.
