Transportadora de Cargas, Operadora de Terminais e Transitário (Unicargas) this year will begin the refurbishment and modernisation of the multipurpose terminal at the port of Luanda, the chairman of the board of directors announced on Thursday in Luanda.

The multipurpose terminal, with the capacity to handle more than 244,000 tonnes of general cargo per year, was handed over to the company’s management in 2005, with the aim of improving port, maritime and logistics services, to boost the economic and social development of Angola.

Celso Rosa, on the sidelines of the company’s second staff meeting, said that work to rebuild infrastructure is a priority, “as 85% of the company’s revenues come from the multipurpose terminal.”

The company had a turnover of 4.6 billion kwanzas from January to November 2018, a real increase of 990 million kwanzas, or 27.4%, over the same period of 2017. (Macauhub)
