Breaking new ground at Matola terminal!

Grindrod celebrated a major milestone with an official groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of the Matola terminal expansion programme.

The event was attended by His Excellency Eng. João Jorge Matlombe, Minister of Transport and Logistics, who launched Phase 1 of the Back-of-Terminal (BOT) development, reaffirming Grindrod’s long-term commitment to Mozambique’s logistics infrastructure and regional trade growth.

Just six months ago, His Excellency Daniel Francisco Chapo, President of the Republic of Mozambique, inaugurated Grindrod’s new administrative building and announced the start of this project. Today, that vision moves into action — advancing Mozambique’s position as a key regional trade gateway.

Phase 1 represents a USD 40 million investment and will fully mechanise the Back-of-Terminal area, increasing capacity from 8 to 12 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and expanding the site from 40 800 m² to 157 760 m². Completion is expected in early 2027.

Phase 2, now in planning, will integrate the Front and Back of Terminal, adding new storage and loading infrastructure to ultimately handle up to 15 mtpa.

“This expansion strengthens the Maputo Corridor and reinforces Mozambique’s position as a regional logistics hub,” said H.E. Eng. João Jorge Matlombe.

“The restart of this expansion marks a renewed commitment to operational excellence and competitive logistics solutions,” added Kwazi Mabaso, CEO of Grindrod Bulk and incoming Group CEO of Grindrod Limited.

Together with the Government of Mozambique and MPDC, Grindrod continues to invest in infrastructure that connects Africa’s trade with the world.
