President of Mozambique, Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, inaugurated 1058 metres of berthing area, comprising berths 6, 7, 8, and 9, at the Port of Maputo on Wednesday. The berths, rehabilitated, expanded and dredged to depths of up to -16 metres, are now fully operational, allowing the port to receive and load an increasing number of bigger vessels (capesize).
Nyusi said during his inaugural speech that the refurbished berths would lead to an increase in shipments through the port and higher revenue for the country. The strategic intent to invest in the port’s infrastructure had contributed significantly to adding value to its business.
