COMETAL, now under the management of Sir Motors, will again produce wagons at the end of next year, and hopes that its clients will be other international entities besides the Mozambique Railways. Meanwhile, the company currently produces other types of structures from containers that arrive on ships and then become useless.

An example of this are the police stations on their premises, built out of sheet metal and iron from the containers.

"This is a mobile police station, consisting of a front desk, office, a cell and a second floor, which is a dormitory with a capacity of six or seven billets," explained Abdul Ussene, COMETAL's Project Director.

In this path, COMETAL has created an unfolded health post capable of attending to several specificities in the health area.

In addition to reviving the metal-mechanic company that was once the fifth largest in the continent in the production and export of wagons, the idea is that, with the use of laser iron cutting, infrastructure can be created to minimize the suffering of the people who are victims of terrorism in Cabo Delgado.

In fact, in this first phase alone, the company can transform the containers into any infrastructure needed and with lighting through solar panels.

Among other ambitions, "we will have assembly lines for motorcycles and tillers, assembly lines for 400-ton trucks, in the near future. But, further ahead, still comes the manufacturing line", said Michael Antunes, the company's managing director.
