The Minister of Transports and Communications, Eng. Carlos Mesquita, affirmed today, during the inauguration of the two new mobile harbour cranes of the Port of Maputo, that the transport and logistic system should work in an integrated manner. The Minister praised the investment efforts done by the Port of Maputo but highlighted that those should be aligned with those made in the rail and road systems.
The Minister then inaugurated the new Liebherr equipment that arrived to the Port of Maputo in mid-August. The two LHM550 cranes have a 144-ton lift capacity and will allow an increase in productivity that can go up to 300%.
The operators, selected Mozambican young operators, went through an intensive training at the Liebherr Training Center in Durban and are now ready to start the operations in Maputo.
