Landmark MoU between Maputo and South Africa’s Transnet

A landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between South Africa’s Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) and the Maputo Ports Development Company (MPDC) that will pave the way for co-operation between the two port authorities.

“The MoU opens up collaboration on matters of common interest in areas of infrastructure development, engineering, training and marine services. Contrary to popular belief TNPA and the MPDC are not competitors and the agreement will open up opportunities for a closer working relationship and sharing of knowledge,” said TNPA’s CEO Tau Morwe.

“It is an important step toward fostering greater intra-regional co-operation which is a key priority of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market of Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa),” added Osorio Lucas, MPDC’s CEO.
