Value-added logistics volumes growing

Volumes of cargo moving

through the Maputo

Intermodal Container

Depot (MICD) have

started growing following

investment in new

equipment and systems by

DP World Maputo.

The depot, which lies

next to the container

terminal and is within the

port limits, is being used

for container stuffing and

destuffing, as well as shortterm

storage, according

to Tejas Nataraj, chief

executive officer of DP

World Maputo.

MICD complements the

services offered by the DP

World Container Terminal.

It can handle 200 000

tons of mineral products

a year in outside storage

and loading areas, as well

as 120 000 tons of general

cargo in the warehouse.

Containers can be washed

on site, and minor repairs

can be done.
