Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Caminhos de Ferro de Mo\u00e7ambique (CFM) \u2013 Mozambique Railway Company \u2013 will lead the development of the Dondo Logistics Terminal, covering an area of 70 hectares, in response to strong demand from neighbouring countries for the port of Beira, according to Mozambique\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

The government, in a recently approved resolution consulted today by Lusa, authorises the direct award of the project to CFM and creates a negotiating team to draft the concession contract proposal for the infrastructure of the future logistics terminal in Sofala province, in the centre of the country.<\/p>\n

In the rationale for the proposal, the Ministry of Transport and Logistics said that the port of Beira, capital of Sofala province, is an \u2018important infrastructure in the country\u2019s logistics chain and the Beira Corridor\u2019, which \u2018supplies Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of Congo\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018In this port, storage services and access roads are congested due to ever-increasing demand, causing queues at the entrance and exit, which slows down traffic and compromises efficiency and road safety in the corridor,\u2019 the government acknowledges.<\/p>\n

Therefore, \u2018in view of the problems raised\u2019, the government \u201cmandated\u201d CFM \u2018to lead the development process of the Dondo Logistics Terminal, in an area initially planned to cover 70 hectares\u2019, but \u2018with the possibility of expansion depending on the growth of the port of Beira, and to this end, it may resort to partners with proven competence and financial capacity\u2019.<\/p>\n

It justifies this as a public company \u2018with technical and financial capacity and accumulated experience in the design and development of projects in the area of logistics\u2019, which is why the ministry states that it \u201csees no obstacle to direct negotiation in the form of a direct contract, with a view to the design, construction, operation, maintenance and return of the infrastructure of the Dondo Logistics Terminal, under a public-private partnership.\u2018<\/p>\n

\u2019With the prerogative that the concession be carried out through a consortium that includes CFM EP, MPDC [Maputo Port Development Company], the Sofala Business Council and the Municipality of Dondo,\u201d it further states.<\/p>\n

The resolution provides that CFM may implement the project \u2018in partnership with companies with recognised experience and financial capacity in the development and operation of dry ports\u2019 and that the object of the concession \u2018will focus on the design, construction, operation, management, maintenance and return of the Dondo Logistics Terminal\u2019.<\/p>\n

Minister of Transport and Logistics Jo\u00e3o Matlombe, must submit the concession contract proposal and the respective Decree for approval within 90 days from the date of publication of the resolution.
\nAccording to the government, the planning instruments for the coming years established a \u2018commitment\u2019 to \u2018transform logistics corridors into true revenue centres, which should, to this end, become competitive at the regional level\u2019.<\/p>\n
