The company Corredor Logístico de Maputo (CLM) wants to boost movement at the Namaacha and Goba borders in order to reduce logistics costs in the transportation of goods.

According to the Mozambican Information Agency (AIM), which quotes the company's director, Clávio Macuácua, this will be possible because goods transiting along the aforementioned borders can be cleared at the logistics terminal, which also functions as a dry port.

From a logistical point of view, this solution could ease congestion and the pressure on the Ressano Garcia border, where a truck can wait for more than five hours in customs procedures.

"For us as CLM, we believe that this is a new beginning for the dynamization of the corridors," said Macuácua, quoted by AIM.

The source was speaking a few days ago during a visit to the terminal by the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, João Matlombe.

He added that as a result of this solution, which has added value, CLM expects a reduction in the cost of living for the population.

The Minister of Transport and Logistics, for his part, assured that the government would be able to create conditions to improve accessibility along National Road number two (EN2), with a view to making operations viable in the Maputo and Goba and Namaacha border corridors.

CLM's cargo terminal, located in the municipality of Marracuene, is an investment costing around 50 million dollars and the company is considering increasing its cargo handling capacity by building another 20,000 square meters of warehouses.

From an operational point of view, the CLM terminal allows goods leaving the port of Maputo, for example, to be stored there while they await customs clearance processes.
