Maputo port ships record volumes as SA railways and ports choke

The Port of Maputo appears to be using the logistics crisis in neighbouring South Africa to good effect. It increased volumes of product shipped by 16% in 2023, topping a record 31.2 million tonnes. The Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC), a public-private partnership that operates the port on a concession, said on Tuesday this growth serves to consolidate the port's position as one of the region's main economic drivers.
