Port of Maputo

Maputo, Mozambique

The Port of Maputo, part of the Maputo-Matola port complex, is a vital Mozambican port located in the cities of Maputo and Matola. Managed by the 'Maputo Port Development Company,' the port serves as a key maritime hub facilitating trade connections between South Africa, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe. The port's history dates back to 1544, playing a crucial role in the city's establishment. With modern facilities like the Maputo Cargo Terminals and Matola Bulk Terminals, the port ensures efficient handling of various ores like chromium, coal, and vanadium. Notably ranked 248th in the World Bank Container Port Performance Index, it witnessed peak volumes in 2023, largely driven by South African mines.
