Portos de Cabo Verde (ENAPOR) successfully inaugurated the Mindelo Cruise Port on 21st June on the island of São Vicente.

According to the terminal operator, Global Ports Holding (GPH), the new cruise port is characterised by its excellent technical and operational conditions, which include a modern berth with capacity to receive large ships, functional buildings with spacious and comfortable areas, modern support equipment and high standards of safety and accessibility.

In January, ENAPOR partnered with GPH, the world’s largest cruise port operator, to support the development and efficient operation of the new terminal. This collaboration aimed to enhance service standards and contribute to positioning Cape Verde as a leading destination for cruise ships.

With this structure investment, Cape Verde strengthens its position as a competitive destination in the international cruise market, paving the way for a new economic dynamic in São Vicente and the other islands, with positive impacts on tourism, trade and job creation, ENAPOR said.
