Abu Dhabi Ports Group has recently finalized agreements with Unicargas and Multiparks, leading to a 20-year concession agreement with the Luanda Ports Authority to modernize and operate the Luanda Multi-Purpose Terminal in Angola. As part of these agreements, Abu Dhabi Ports Group acquired stakes in joint ventures with these Angolan companies, with plans to invest $251 million in modernizing the terminal and developing a logistics center over the next three years.
