"Due to the state of calamity declared by the Angolan government, due to the covid-19 pandemic, which led to the closure of the Angolan borders, the Commission for Evaluation of Concessions, responsible for the Public Bid for the concession of the Multiuse Terminal of the Port of Luanda, decided to extend the date of presentation of the bids," the statement said.
The concession of the Multiuse Terminal of the Port of Luanda may allow a "significant fit for the State", as acknowledged in April by the Minister of Transport, Ricardo de Abreu.
The deadline for submitting bids to the public tender for the concession of the Multipurpose Terminal of the Port of Luanda, which had a deadline of 30 March, was extended to 29 May due to the state of emergency imposed to contain the spread of the covid-19 pandemic in the country and now to 30 June.
