DP World’s USD165 million expansion of the container terminal at the Port of Maputo in Mozambique has officially started with a ground-breaking ceremony and the port operator signalling a range of new materials handling equipment will be introduced at the port.

Dubai-headquartered DP World says the project will enhance the port’s capabilities, positioning Maputo as a trade and logistics hub for Southern Africa.

"To manage larger container volumes and a diverse range of commodities, new equipment will be introduced, including three ship-to-shore (STS) cranes capable of handling post-Panamax ships and an expanded fleet of rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes, complementing the existing mobile harbour crane (MHC) fleet,” DP World states.

“The port will be equipped with the latest technology and world-class infrastructure to boost operational capacity and efficiency, with the terminal yard and quay undergoing a complete revamp and modernisation.”
