Cornelder de Moçambique announces the acquisition of two new cranes at the Port of Beira, valued at approximately US$25 million, includes approximately US$5 million for the purchase of other equipment.
For Cornelder de Moçambique, this investment is part of a plan to strengthen operational capacity and respond to growing demand.
The company plans to invest between US$120 and US$125 million in the coming years in the modernization and expansion of the port infrastructure of the Port of Beira.
The Beira Port Container Terminal stands out in the Southern African region for its level of modernization, operating with the Navis N4 port management system.
Throughout its 27-year concession, Cornelder de Moçambique has maintained a continuous financial contribution to the national economy, with accumulated disbursements of approximately US$886 million to the State Treasury, of which approximately US$500 million were paid in the last eight years.
In parallel, the company channels, on average, around US$50 million per year to Mozambican companies, through the contracting of local suppliers and service providers, promoting the use of local content and strengthening the national business sector.
As part of its capacity expansion plan, Cornelder de Moçambique plans to invest approximately US$120 million over the next four years, enabling it to increase the annual capacity of the Container Terminal to around 700,000 TEUs and the General Cargo Terminal to approximately five million tons.
This growth reinforces the role of the Port of Beira as a strategic logistics corridor for Mozambique and the region.
Several infrastructure projects are underway, most notably the construction of approximately 75,000 square meters of new paved yards and a new exit complex at the Container Terminal, as well as new entry and exit complexes at the General Cargo Terminal, the expansion of the Ore Terminal, and the enlargement of areas dedicated to fertilizer handling.
These projects involve significant participation from national companies and labor.
In addition to the infrastructure, CdM is moving forward with the acquisition of new equipment for the General Cargo Terminal, including two mobile cranes, a bulk loading system, and various handling equipment, prioritizing the participation of national companies in the associated services.
In the field of human development, Cornelder de Moçambique maintains an ongoing commitment to training national professionals, annually hosting over one hundred students in internship programs.
This investment in local talent has enabled the internal development of technological and operational solutions designed to meet the specific needs of the Port of Beira.
