Welcome to DAT Lobito Corridor Advisory
Angola's Lobito Corridor is emerging as the most strategic logistics route in sub-Saharan Africa, connecting the Atlantic Port of Lobito to the mines of Angola, DRC, and Zambia. Designed to bypass congested southern and eastern trade routes, it provides a more secure, faster, cost-effective export path for cobalt, copper, and other critical minerals.
Backed by the U.S. and EU under the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII) and the Minerals Security Partnership (MSP), this is a flagship initiative to diversify critical mineral supply chains.
