In April, the Maputo Grain Terminal, a privately owned grain terminal, came into operation at Maputo port. Maputo Grain Terminal is operated by Grindrod Mozambique Limitada, a business unit within Grindrod Terminals Division. The terminal provides a fully inte- grated support and distribution service for grains des- tined for consumption by Mozambican industry and it acts as a base for the transit of grains within Mozam- bique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
The infrastructure is able to handle most free-flowing cereals including wheat, maize, soybeans and non-free flowing soya meal. Terminal services include vessel discharge, cleaning/ fumigation, and dispatch from silos/flat store to rail or road transport. Silo complex capacity is 25 000 tons and 30 000 tons is available for flat storage.
The following Grindrod companies can provide a full logistical solution for the transport of grain cargo: Rail
- Grindrod Rail, Road - Grindrod Logistics, Vessel - Is- land View Shipping, and Clearing - Sturrock Grindrod.
