Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican government is pushing forward with legal and fiscal incentives to help cabotage [coastal freight shipping] attract operators interested in exploring transport alternatives, considering the local relevance of rail and port services.<\/p>\n

These are statements made this Thursday to journalists by the Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications, Amilton Alissone, who made known the government position at the XXVI Council of Directors of the Railways of Mozambique (CFM) in Matibane, Nampula province.<\/p>\n

The focus is on finding mechanisms to make cabotage competitive. Coastal shipping is being branded as \u201cRoad Number Zero\u201d, in imitation with the road and rail corridors already in operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur corridors were essentially designed for the transport of cargo, which is why this service, at the moment, bears a lot of responsibility in the country,\u201d Deputy Minister Alissone said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time to devise a new paradigm in order to conceive the most sustainable mechanism for establishing [cabotage] as a backbone,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

The minister highlighted some of the measures taken by the government as part of this ongoing approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has been implementing different measures to ensure that cabotage becomes as competitive as possible. We must establish incentives so that cabotage operators feel challenged to offer the service in a sustainable way,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

He argued that, in order to complement rail and port services, it was necessary to invest in efficient logistics, with a sustainable model for cabotage.<\/p>\n

Amilton Alisson said that, in the CFM\u2019s view, Mozambique was consolidating its strategic logistics position in the region, providing increasingly competitive services as a result of ongoing investments in the rail and port system under the government\u2019s 2020-2024 Five-Year Programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe country is implementing a vast program of rehabilitation and expansion of rail and port infrastructure, including the acquisition of rolling stock, to reinforce the company\u2019s capacity to transport people and goods in Mozambique and throughout the region,\u201d he detailed.<\/p>\n

Alisson said that, \u201cin addition to ongoing interventions to improve rail and port infrastructure, reforms are under way to make the Maputo, Beira and Nacala development corridors more competitive and efficient\u201d.<\/p>\n

He noted that the previous CFM executive had last year implemented an initiative to remove physical borders in the rail transport of goods on the border with the Kingdom of Eswatini at Ressano Garcia, an initiative to be expanded to borders in the Beira and Nacala corridors presently.<\/p>\n

The XXVI CFM Board of Directors meeting ended on Saturday.<\/p>\n
