ENAPOR (Empresa Nacional de Administração dos Portos, Portuguese for "National Company for Port Administration") is the Cape Verdean port authority.[1] Its purpose is the administration, management and economic exploitation of the ports, terminals and zones of port jurisdiction of Cape Verde.[2] It is a public limited company, 100% owned by the State of Cape Verde.[3] Its current president is Jorge Pimenta Maurício.[2] In 2017, 2,334,079 tonnes of cargo and 873,915 passengers were handled.[4] The net income of ENAPOR was 187.8 million CVE in 2016.[3]
ENAPOR was established on 19 June 1982 as the successor of the former Junta Autónoma dos Portos de Cabo Verde.[1] In 2005 there were plans to privatize ENAPOR and at least two major ports.[5] An international tender for the sub-concession of the four major ports was launched in 2015, but this was cancelled in 2017.[6]
