The Importance of the Barra do Dande Ocean Terminal
Published on February 15, 2025 by AWAT.
The inauguration of the Barra do Dande Ocean Terminal (TOBD) represents a strategic
milestone for Angola’s energy security. Considered by the President of the Republic,
João Lourenço, as one of the main infrastructures in the sector, alongside the Luanda
Refinery, TOBD strengthens the country’s fuel storage and distribution capacity.
Impact on the Energy Sector
With a capacity of 582,000 m³, distributed among diesel, gasoline, and LPG, the terminal
will contribute to supply stability and reduce import dependency. The $700 million investment
by Sonangol boosts the economy, creates jobs, and promotes technological advancements in the
oil sector.
The Role of AWAT
Ango World Tar Asphalt & Trading (AWAT), specialized in the commercialization of bitumen and
fuels, can leverage TOBD’s modern infrastructure to optimize its logistics and ensure a more
efficient and safer supply. Partnerships with terminal operators will strengthen its market position.
