Citrus Terminal Manica (25%) and Outspan jointly manage the Citrus terminal. Type of cargo Equipment Citrus terminal 6 cranes of 5t. The Fresh Produce Terminal of the port of Maputo has a current capacity of 95 000 pallets a year. With the signing of the agreement between Capespan and MDHC, it is planned to expand this facility to 200 000 pallets a year, the equivalent of around 30% of the total exports from South Africa. The cooling capacity was expanded in May 2001, from 2200 pallets to 3500 pallets at cost of Rand 3.5 million. Container Terminal The Container terminal is managed by MIPS, is a joint-venture of Rennies (37%), CFM (33%) and P&O Ports (30%), since March 1996. The container yard has an area of 8ha, of which 4ha are paved, with ground slot capacity of 520 TEU, and 4ha undeveloped for future extension. Average productivity: 336 TEU per ship per day in 1997, 343 TEU per ship per day in 1998.

The terminal has capacity to handle 600,000 tons per year raw material for the production of aluminium, essentially alumina, petroleum coke and pitch, as well as the outgoing 250 000 tons of finished metal (for export). Construction of Mozal Terminal is one of the Mozal mega projects at the industrial port of Matola. Construction of the aluminium smelter is the key project. Complementary projects include the telecommunication (project valued at US$1.35 million), electricity supply valued at US$130 million and dredging among others. Mozal, representing US$1.34 billion investment, is the largest single private sector investment to date in Mozambique, with the shareholders as the Billiton of UK (47%), Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) of South Africa (24%), Mitsubishi of Japan (25%), and the Mozambican Government (4%). The Mozal smelting plant has been designed to double its production capacity from 250,000 tons to 500,000 tons per year on market demand. US$50 million were used to construct the port infrastructure. US$13 million of this value represented the cost to build the aluminium terminal. The terminal is 210m long and 25m wide, and was raised on columns with an average depth of 24m. The cargo unloaded is handled through the use of suction system, and transferred by conveyor belt to the silos constructed at the terminal. Tanker trucks are used for the transportation of the raw material from the silos to the aluminium smelter plant. The rail corridor consists of three railways: Goba line, 75km, connecting Maputo with Swaziland, with the most part rehabilitated in 1995. Ressano Garcia line, 78km, connecting Maputo with South Africa. An international consortium led by Spoornet of South Africa signed an agreement with the Mozambique Ports and Railways (CFM) to run, operate and rehabilitate the Ressano Garcia line. Limpopo line, 534km, connecting Maputo with Zimbabwe, inaugurated in 1993.
