Road distance – 581kms
Rail distance – 590kms
THE MAPUTO CORRIDOR
What are the economic drivers on the corridor?
• Investment in key transport infrastructure (road, rail,
border post, port and terminals)
• Shorter distances to the port of Maputo
• Proximity of Indian and Far East markets to Port Maputo
• A vastly improved trade facilitation environment (SARS
Rollout and SeW in Mozambique)
• Regional integration imperatives at continental and REC
level which favour corridor development

In the 2 years between 2005 and 2007
• 43% increase in passengers
• 73% increase in cars and busses
• 65% increase in the total number of vehicles that crossed
the border

TRADE FACILITATION IMPROVEMENTS
• SARS Customs Modernisation – Increases Electronic Interface
and speed of document clearance
• Single Electronic Window implemented late 2012 in
Mozambique
• Significant amendments to Transit Customs legislation in
Mozambique currently being finalised
• Challenges exist in the SeW arena, but are being ironed out in
partnership with all the role-players
ONE OF THE MOST EFFICIENT CORRIDORS ON THE
CONTINENT
Between 400 and 600 bulk trucks per day through LRG
In excess of 1000 trucks per day into the port of Maputo
Clearing time between 4 and 8 mins due to improved EDI and
SeW efficiencies
Some C&F agents have it down to between 2 and 3 mins
Time and motion study by one MCLI member 5½ hours from RG
to port, offload and back to RG
PORT MAPUTO
Shareholding since 2008
51 %

INVESTMENT IN PORT MAPUTO
PORT AND TERMINALS
$475 million investment from 2003 to September 2013:
- dredging of channel from -11m to -14m
- expansion of Matola coal terminal from 7,3 mt to 20 mt
- expansion of container terminal from 150 000k TEU’s to 400
000 TEU’s
- bulk terminal in Maputo main port from 2 m to 8 m tons
- berth rehabilitation
- general infrastructure - rail sidings, roads,
- operating equipment, new tug boats and pilot boats
- human capital investment
2003 – SUBSIDENCE AND WRECKAGE AT BERTH 16
2004 - INTERNAL RAIL NETWORK UPGRADED TO INTERNATIONAL
STANDARDS
• Efficient corridors have a significant impact on the
competitiveness of local business and regional economies
• Can provide a measure of predictability, reliability and
efficiency crucial to trade and logistics supply chains
• Key to providing access to markets.
• Ability to address the issues affecting trade in a transport
corridor approach has given a significant level of comfort
to users and has resulted in significant economic growth
in this region.
THE MAPUTO CORRIDOR
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS FOR CORRIDORS
√good infrastructure,
√ good systems and procedures,
√ good information
√ institutional mechanism to be the facilitator and
interface
√ cooperation between the public and private sector
to ensure sustainable success.
DESPITE THE CHALLENGES, THE MAPUTO
CORRIDOR TICKS ALL THESE BOXES
