Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Three hundred and fifty-one ships docked, in 2023, at the Port of Lobito, handling one million 332 thousand and 451 tons of various cargo.<\/b><\/p>\n

Data was revealed this Monday by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of this company, Celso Rosas, during the New Year’s greetings ceremony, showing an increase of 7.57 percent, compared to 2022.<\/p>\n

However, it revealed that there was a reduction of 14.90 percent in terms of tonnes of cargo.<\/p>\n

In terms of revenue, he added that the port collected, in 2023, more than 13 billion and 800 million kwanzas.<\/p>\n

According to the person responsible, compared to the same period of the previous year, there was a decrease of around 5.72 percent in revenue, as the company had collected more than 14 billion and 700 million Kz.<\/p>\n

“This reduction was mainly based on the impact of port tariffs, currency fluctuations, as well as the international situation that, in a certain way, has affected world maritime trade”, explained Celso Rosas.<\/p>\n

Celso Rosas also referred to the port company’s debt to its suppliers.<\/p>\n

“We made an effort to honor our commitments with our suppliers. From a total of old debts, at the beginning of 2023, in the order of more than 26 billion Kz, we managed to amortize more than 620 million Kwanzas, thus improving our relationship “, he stressed.<\/p>\n

In relation to customer debt, he said it amounts to more than 32 billion kwanzas, having a significant impact on the company’s liquidity, which is why there is an urgent need to implement a plan to collect ongoing debts.<\/p>\n

The PCA highlighted the recovery of several machines and equipment, in particular the 50-ton STS crane that had been inoperative for more than eight years.<\/p>\n

The person responsible also said that more than 42 training sessions will be carried out at all levels, within the scope of human capital investment.<\/p>\n
