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]
