Beira expansion on track

Construction of an
extension to the existing
Beira container terminal is
progressing well and is nearly
completed.
A new agribulk facility has
been created that can store
over 25 000 tons of cargo.
It is currently being used to
deal with the large amounts
of maize imports due to the
regional drought, but will be
used for other commodities in
2017.
Work is expected to start
within the next two years on
a planned extension of the
quayside in the port of Beira.
The 600-metre extension of
the existing quayside will also
provide vessels with a 14-metre
draft, according to Cornelder
executive managing director
Adelino Mesquita.
