环球港务集团（DP World）将在两年内投资9000万美元扩建其位于安哥拉罗安达港的码头，使其吞吐能力翻倍以上，此举显示出这家总部位于迪拜的公司正进一步押注非洲贸易。
DP World will invest $90 million over two years to expand its terminal at Angola’s Port of Luanda, more than doubling capacity as the Dubai-based firm deepens its bet on African trade.
该公司表示，此次扩建将延长码头岸线并增加15台起重机，使码头能够同时处理两艘大型集装箱船，并将周转时间缩短一半。
The expansion will lengthen the quay and add 15 cranes, allowing the terminal to handle two large container ships at once and cutting turnaround times by up to half, the company said.
安哥拉还将环球港务集团的特许经营权延长了10年，至2051年。
Angola also extended DP World’s concession by 10 years, to 2051.
自2021年开始运营以来，该公司已在码头上投入超过2.6亿美元，集装箱吞吐量几乎翻了一番，达到35万个以上。
The company has spent more than $260 million on the terminal since it began operating there in 2021, and volumes have nearly doubled to more than 350,000 containers.
这项投资延续了其在至少九个非洲地区长达二十年的布局，使环球港务集团在伊朗战争期间仍保持盈利。
The investment extends a two-decade buildout across at least nine African territories that has kept DP World profitable through the Iran war.
该公司非洲区负责人向彭博社表示，计划再向非洲大陆投入40亿美元。
The company plans to commit another $4 billion to the continent, its Africa chief told Bloomberg. — Ed Clowes
