The public tender launched on December 16 initially had expressions of interest from nine candidates, but only five submitted proposals: the Angolan Multiparque Terminal Link and the foreign Sifax Group (Nigeria), DP World (Dubai), ICTS International Container Terminal Services (Philippines) and the SAS / MPLFI MSC consortium.
At the opening of the proposals, the president of the public port company, Alberto Bengue, told the press that the winner will be known within 60 days.
