The Mozambique port and rail authorities plan to invest $3-billion to raise yearly throughput at Mozambique’s Maputo port to between 40-million tons and 50-million tons by 2020 and to migrate additional cargo from road to rail. Seen at the inauguration of the trinational Maputo Corridor Joint Operations Centre (JOC) is Transnet CEO Brian Molefe, who said the JOC facilitated a seamless trade experience. Mozambique, South Africa and Swaziland railway operators are working in cross-border partnership with the Maputo Port Development Corporation, which is expected to undertake further dredging and develop three new quays. The planned new dredging campaign is expected to increase the port’s depth to 14 m from the current 11 m to give access to larger cargo vessels. Transnet’s newest dredger, the Italeni, was expected in Maputo at the time of going to press to conduct maintenance dredging.
