The Port of Maputo moved record volumes of 32-million tons in 2025, a 3.4% increase year-on-year, with rail volumes rising 17% to 11.7-million tons, according to the Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC). Strategic infrastructure projects underway include expansion of the bulk terminal to 16-million tons, the DP World container terminal to 530 000 TEUs and Grindrod's magnetite and coal terminal to 12-million tons, with hot commissioning of the latter scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
Grindrod reports 30% cargo volume increase, weather disruptions easeLogistics group Grindrod says favourable operating conditions at the Port of Maputo resulted in a 30% increase in cargo volumes during the five months ended May 2026, though performance at its Terminal de Carvão da Matola slowed 8% owing to adverse weather in the Phalaborwa region between January and February. CEO Kwazi Mabaso says the company expects improved performance in the second half of the year as weather-related disruptions ease and rail capacity recovers, supported by the reopening of the Chikwalakwala line in May.
Rerouted trade boosts Maputo traffic amid Middle East conflictRerouted transport is increasing traffic through the Port of Maputo, Durban, Walvis Bay and Mauritius as the Middle East conflict disrupts shipping routes, according to a report by two UN agencies, the African Union and the African Development Bank. The report warns African economies could lose 0.2 percentage points of GDP growth in 2026 if the conflict lasts more than six months, with prolonged disruption to trade, energy and fertiliser supplies threatening the continent.
