The allocation of a new three-hectare slab will boost Maputo port’s annual handling capacity, which is set to increase to 12.4 million tonnes upon the activation of this new facility.
According to the commercial director for the Maputo Port Development Company, Neusa Monjane Saranga, the demand for minerals has risen by an additional four million tonnes of throughput.
“Our customers have already completely occupied this new slab, which boasts an annual handling capacity of 1.2 million tonnes.
“We are actively implementing strategies to enhance efficiency, aiming to maximise our handling volumes."
The dedicated slab is equipped with a specialised weighbridge and supplemented by additional equipment and staffing investments.
“It forms an integral part of the port's Phase 1 expansion programme targeting bulk, breakbulk and container capacity upgrades to ride the mineral export boom,” said Saranga.
