Lobito Atlantic Railway (LAR) transported 50,235 tonnes of cargo between January and March 2025. Of this total, 18,202 tonnes were minerals, primarily copper.
The operator of the Lobito Corridor has set an ambitious goal to reach one million tonnes of diverse cargo.
In 2024, the corridor moved 125,000 tonnes of cargo, including 40,000 tonnes of copper.
LAR is an Angolan company with a 20-year renewable concession to operate the Lobito Corridor. Despite common misconceptions, the company does not have any equity investment from the United States.
It is privately owned and established under Angolan law by Trafigura, Mota-Engil, and Vecturis.
