After grappling with significant challenges in recent years, the Mozambican energy sector is seeing an uptick in activity, particularly in the realm of liquefied natural gas (LNG) production.

However, this upswing in energy-related ventures was just one facet of a broader and noteworthy trend unfolding on the global stage, said Howie Frylinck, general manager at Pentagon Freight Services.

There has also been a substantial increase in inquiries and shipments bound for Mozambique from regions outside of Africa, according to Frylinck

“Volumes have been up and down at times but overall, we have noted an increase over the past 12 months,” he said.

“Unfortunately, volumes are not there yet and not consistent for carriers to commit to a more frequent or regular service, causing a few challenges for freight forwarders.

"This is particularly so when it comes to moving cargo in and out of the northern parts of the country and requires a lot more planning.

"Having a good team on the ground, sharing information that will help us make informed decisions, is critical to our operation in Mozambique.”
