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

Mar Construction will be responsible for the design and construction of both topside and marine infrastructure, while Dar Al-Handasah will oversee project management and provide construction supervision services.

Launched on January 30, 2025, the terminal upgrade aims to convert the facility into a state-of-the-art general cargo, container and roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) terminal. Once completed, the port will accommodate vessels of up to 14,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) and feature advanced technology and IT systems.

Scheduled for completion in Q1 2027, the project will increase the terminal’s capacity tenfold – from 25,000 to 250,000 TEUs – and boost Ro-Ro volumes to over 40,000 vehicles.

The project has secured a $250-million investment commitment through 2026 from AD Ports Group, as part of a 20-year concession agreement signed with the Luanda Ports Authority in April 2024.
