ENAPOR was established on 19 June 1982 as the successor of the former Junta Autónoma dos Portos de Cabo Verde. In 2005 there were plans to privatize ENAPOR and at least two major ports. An international tender for the sub-concession of the four major ports was launched in 2015, but this was cancelled in 2017.
