Value-added logistics

Volumes of cargo moving
through the Maputo
Intermodal Container Depot
(MICD) have started growing
following a tailored customer
solution approach by MICD,
according to Tejas Nataraj, CEO at
DP World Maputo.
The facility, which is located
1.5 km from the container terminal
within the Port of Maputo, is being
used for container stuffing and
destuffing, as well as short-term
storage.
Minerals delivered in bulk
to the terminal are packed into
containers.
A shuttle service then takes the
containers to the nearby stack,
without leaving the port precinct.
“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 200 000 tons of general cargo in
an 8 500-sqm covered warehouse,”
he says.
