According to Mr Rosário Mualeia chairman of Mozambican port and rail company, Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique, Botswana may in the next few days, start using the port of Maputo to export and import goods.
Mr Mualeia cited by Mozambican news agency AIM said that Botswana has been using the port of Maputo as a transit point and now plans to use it as the final destination of its cargo.
One of Botswana’s main interests is to develop the construction project for the deep water port of Techobanine, in the Matutuíne district of Mozambique’s Maputo province, including a 1,100 kilometre interconnecting railway, and costing an initial USD 7 billion.
According to Camilo Abdul a representative of the Maputo Port Development Company, the company that holds the concession on the port of Maputo, the facility has capacity to process 20 million tonnes per year, of which it currently makes use of just 12 million.
