# Porto Amboim (AO PBN)

**UN/LOCODE:** AO PBN  
**Country:** Angola  
**Water Body:** South Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** -10.7333, 13.7500

Porto Amboim sits within Angola's pre-salt offshore province, and its economy now turns on the oil and gas industry rather than the coffee trade of its Benguela Velha past. The PAENAL yard, a Sonangol–SBM Offshore venture, builds and integrates FPSO modules here, drawing on the deep water of the open roadstead. With no container terminals, the port concentrates on project and heavy-lift cargo and offshore supply work rather than scheduled box services. Inland links run by road, and the site lacks a significant rail connection. For containerised imports and customs clearance, Luanda about 250 km north is the relevant gateway, while Lobito offers deepwater berths and a rail corridor as a further option.
