Luanda : Remodeling jobs will start in the port of Luanda, to double its operational capacity and increase its current 15 piers to 32.
Transportation Minister Luis Brandao said a study was completed and the budget has been approved to turn the port into an economic asset by untangling its crowded container and ship situation and calling importers to help ease the problem.
The Port of Luanda increased operations by 18 percent from 5.4 billion tons in 2006 to 2007 by handling an additional 130,000 tons, to nearly 5.6 million tons in 2007.
