Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The maintenance dredging of the access channel to the Port of Maputo is under way, consisting of the removal of about 550,000 cubic meters of sediment.<\/p>\n

The dredging is intended to maintain the capacity to receive large ships and increase the levels of cargo handling at the port.<\/p>\n

The dredging and maintenance work at the port will be carried out by the dredger Ilembe, owned by the Transnet National Port Authority (TNPA) of South Africa.<\/p>\n

According to Narciso Chipole, director of Port Engineering at the Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC), cited in Wednesday issue of the Maputo daily \u201cNoti\u0301cias\u201d, TNPA was hired after a request for proposals made in June last year, through an international tender.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last maintenance dredging was carried out in 2019\/2020, followed by an intervention in the first half of 2022, under the project of deepening quays 6, 7, 8 and 9\u201d, said Chipole.<\/p>\n

This, he added, is limited to the wharves and an intervention in critical sections of the Matola and Polana access channels \u201cand the current scope also involves the maintenance of the Xefina and North Channel to remove 550,000 cubic meters of sediment.\u201d<\/p>\n
