Lobito Port, Commercial port in Lobito, Angola
The port extends along the coastline with multiple terminals for container ships, bulk cargo vessels, and passenger services in Lobito Bay.
The port commenced operations on March 1, 1903, establishing itself as a crucial maritime facility for western Africa's trade network.
The port employs thousands of local workers who maintain maritime traditions through generations of dock workers and seafarers.
The port connects to inland regions through the Benguela railway and EN-100 highway, handling approximately 2 million tonnes of cargo annually.
The natural harbor sits behind a 5-kilometer sandspit that creates protection from Atlantic Ocean waves.
