Sonangol received, on Tuesday 12th September, the second oil tanker of the Suezmax type, in the city of Mokpo, South Korea, ordered from the company Hyundai Samho Heavy industries.
For the vessel’s godmother, named “Sonangol Njinga Mbande”, in honor of the sovereign Queen of the Kingdom of Ndongo and Matamba, the choice fell to the First Lady of the Republic, Ana Dias Lourenço.
In carrying out the ritual dictated by the ancient tradition of sailors, Ana dias Lourenço threw champagne at the ship’s hull, cut the ribbon on the bridge and sounded the first horn three times, symbolizing the cry of a baby’s birth.
