Cabinda — The northern Cabinda Province wharf received last Friday a large vessel with more than 132 metres of length and 15 metres wide, ANGOP learnt from a note of the local managing board of the port.
The note also refers that the mooring of that ship, which is from Brazil, shows the efforts of the managing board of the port in the reclassification of the wharf, by enlarging the area of placing container loads, as well as in the safety of ships anchoring and dredging of the port's sea area.
The ship has the capacity to transport containers of 20 to 40 feet tall, with loads of 8 tons and a half, and this shows the safety of the Cabinda wharf, which gradually gains the category of a Port.
The act of the arrival of the ship at the wharf of Cabinda was witnessed by the deputy governor of the province for technical matters, António Manuel Gime, the director of the port, Osvaldo Lobo de Nascimento, and the harbour pilot Santos Domingos.
The Cabinda Wharf was built in 1956 and it has a metallic structure which endures until now, although it has been repaired several times.
