A single-point mooring buoy roughly 1.9 nautical miles off Cabinda marks Futila Terminal (AO FLT), Angola's dedicated offshore facility for crude oil and refined product exports. Positioned east of the Malongo oil fields, the terminal is operated by Cabinda Gulf Oil Company (CABGOC), a Chevron affiliate, on behalf of state operator Sonangol. Berthing is restricted to daylight hours, 0600 to 1600, and limited to product tankers of up to 6,400 deadweight tons with a maximum draft of 4.5 metres. There is no container or general cargo handling at Futila; its sole function is petroleum export from the Cabinda enclave. Shippers needing conventional cargo services should look to Cabinda Port or, further south, Luanda. Export clearance for petroleum cargoes runs through Sonangol and Angolan customs authorities on site.
