Five Chinese-made ships recently completed loading at the port of Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, northern China, and officially set sail for Cabinda, Angola. Produced by a subsidiary of CCCC First Harbor Engineering Co., Ltd., the ships are expected to arrive at the end of September and will contribute to the advancement of port infrastructure in the region. 

The batch of five exported vessels includes two large tugboats, two 12.8-meter mooring boats, and a 19.3-meter pilot boat. The voyage will cover more than 10,000 nautical miles and is expected to take 35 to 40 days. In October, the ships will participate in local national celebrations.

Upon arrival, these vessels will strengthen Angola's port infrastructure, improve the level of naval equipment, and accelerate the progress of the new port of Cabinda, increasing the country's connectivity with the region and the world, as well as boosting regional economic integration.
