Scanning costs for certain
cargo passing through
the port of Maputo have been
reduced – 11 years after the
industry warned that they
would drive traffic away from
the port.
Since 2006 all cargo passing
through the port of Maputo
has been subject to a scanning
charge. This includes train
loads of bulk commodities.
As part of the drive to make
Maputo more competitive
“in the context of the current
economic situation”, the
Maputo Port Development
Company (MPDC) and the
scanning company Kudumba
Investments have announced
a drop in scanning fees for
certain commodities.
They include rice, fish,
cement, rock phosphate, project
cargo, chrome and nickel,
according to a joint statement.
