Railways are much more than transport systems. They are critical links in supply chains, trade and regional integration.

At Angola Rail 2026, António Custódio and Mário Cipriano represented Lobito Atlantic Railway (LAR), contributing to discussions on the role of rail in supporting economic development, strengthening regional connectivity and enabling more efficient logistics networks.

The event brought together railway operators, logistics professionals and industry leaders to exchange perspectives on infrastructure development, operational efficiency, multimodal logistics and the growing importance of strategic corridors in connecting producers, markets and ports.

As operator of the Angolan section of the Lobito Corridor, LAR provides reliable rail and logistics services that facilitate regional trade and support efficient supply chains.

We thank the organisers and all participants for the valuable exchange of ideas and perspectives.
