Cabship to Showcase Angola’s Logistics Power at African Energy Week 2025

Angola’s leading logistics and supply chain management company, Cabship, has confirmed its participation as a Silver Partner at the African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies conference, scheduled for September 29 to October 3, 2025, in Cape Town, South Africa. The event, which is the largest of its kind on the continent, is a premier platform that brings together stakeholders across Africa’s vast energy landscape—from upstream operators and technology innovators to infrastructure developers and logistics firms.

Cabship’s involvement is more than a sponsorship—it is a strategic move that underscores the company’s rising profile as a key logistics player in sub-Saharan Africa’s oil and gas ecosystem, particularly in its home market of Angola, the continent’s second-largest oil producer.

Celebrating 16 Years of Logistics Leadership

Founded in 2009, Cabship marks its 16th anniversary in 2025, a milestone that reflects the company’s transformation into one of Angola’s most reliable logistics partners for the energy sector. From material management to procurement and marine logistics, the firm has positioned itself as a critical enabler for upstream oil and gas operations.

Over the years, Cabship has cultivated robust partnerships with global energy majors such as Chevron and Azule Energy, offering a suite of support services ranging from port logistics and inventory audits to project-specific supply chain management. Its collaboration with Etu Energias, Angola’s largest private oil company, in performing comprehensive inventory audits has significantly improved the operational efficiency of Angola’s domestic energy sector.

New Infrastructure to Support Energy Ambitions

Cabship’s participation at AEW 2025 comes at a time when the company is actively investing in strategic infrastructure to expand its logistics capabilities across key Angolan oil hubs:

• Cabinda & Soyo: Plans are underway to acquire a 50,000 m² construction yard near Malongo in Cabinda, enhancing fabrication and material handling for onshore and offshore projects.

• Cabinda Special Economic Zone: In 2023, Cabship entered into a joint venture with maritime services provider Octomar to establish a diving and offshore marine support company. This venture is expected to play a pivotal role in supporting new offshore licensing rounds scheduled for 2025, offering diving, maintenance, and vessel services critical to deepwater exploration.

These initiatives reinforce Cabship’s commitment to supporting Angola’s upstream expansion, especially as the government intensifies efforts to boost crude oil production, develop non-associated gas projects, and drive energy exports.

Digitalization, Diversification, and Global Expansion

Cabship’s growth trajectory is anchored in digitalization and diversification—prioritizing efficiency, innovation, and a forward-looking approach to logistics. The company is modernizing its operational processes to align with international standards while diversifying its service offerings to include marine support, fabrication, and advanced inventory systems.

In a significant leap toward global integration, Cabship has opened an office in Houston, Texas, a move that strengthens procurement channels and aligns its operations with one of the world’s most influential oil and gas ecosystems. The Houston division serves as a vital conduit for American firms like Chevron, facilitating smoother operations between Angola and the broader Southern African region.

African Energy Week 2025: A Gateway to Pan-African and Global Partnerships

With its growing footprint and proven operational record, Cabship’s presence at AEW 2025 is expected to amplify cross-border partnerships and investment discussions. The event is seen as a critical opportunity for Cabship to:

• Showcase its logistics innovation and infrastructure investments

• Forge new relationships with international investors and service providers

• Advocate for stronger regional collaboration in energy infrastructure

According to Tomás Gerbasio, VP of Commercial and Strategic Engagement at the African Energy Chamber, “Cabship is a company that is committed to Africa’s oil and gas future. By enhancing its logistics and upstream service offerings, working closely with international operators, and leveraging global partnerships, the company is positioning Africa as a key destination for oil and gas development.”

Supporting a Sustainable Oil and Gas Future

As Angola and other African nations seek to scale up energy exports, improve supply chain resilience, and create local content opportunities, companies like Cabship are poised to play a transformative role. Its strategic positioning at the intersection of logistics, infrastructure, and international engagement makes it a pillar of Angola’s energy future—and a rising force on the continental stage.

Cabship’s participation at AEW 2025 is more than a showcase—it is a declaration of Africa’s logistical capacity to support energy sovereignty, economic growth, and global investment.
