Mozambique: Enhancing Quality and Competitiveness of Railway Transportation

Mozambique has entered a new era in logistics development thanks to an agreement between the Ports and Railways Administration (CFM) and the Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC), this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

The agreement aims to improve the quality and competitiveness of freight transport along the logistics corridor linking the Port of Maputo and the South African border.

The primary objective is to increase the share of railway transport by shifting from road transport, which enhances more efficient and cost-effective cargo delivery.

The 88-kilometer corridor plays a crucial role in transporting bulk commodities such as ores and coal from mines in northeastern South Africa.

The signed agreement establishes standards for transit times, wagon loading and unloading, and minimizes delays at stations and ports.

These measures aim to enhance the efficiency of logistics services, crucial for clients and the regional economy at large.

CFM and MPDC also plan significant investments in digitalization and transport organization improvements to reduce human factors’ impact on processes and ensure long-term transport stability and reliability.

The next 25 years will be pivotal for investments in port infrastructure and railway development, fostering not only sustainable logistics sector growth but also overall economic development of the country.
