Corredor Logístico de Maputo (CLM) has selected Agility Logistics Park in Maputo to be the location of its new logistics terminal, office, and distribution centre, in a huge boost to Mozambique’s logistics sector. The development is a giant step towards increasing the cargo handling and transit capacity in the country, and the project will propel national and regional supply chains.
The new CLM terminal will span 7,000 square meters in Agility Logistics Park, a state-of-the-art, 24/7 secure facility with world-class warehousing to international standards. The terminal will process more than 50,000 tonnes of in-transit cargo annually. In addition to its transit function, the terminal will also provide short-term storage capacity for staple food commodities to provide a steady domestic supply and assist in national food security.
Neide Tsenane, Country Lead of Agility Logistics Parks Mozambique, welcomed the partnership, saying, “We are pleased to have Corredor Logístico de Maputo become part of our facility and honored that they have chosen Agility as the location for their new logistics terminal.” She pointed out that CLM’s presence at the park is part of Agility’s strategy to facilitate trade, enhance supply chains, and support the economic growth of Mozambique. “At Agility, we’re committed to offering flexible, efficient, and sustainable warehousing solutions that help our clients scale and succeed,” she added.
The CLM project will be developed as an integrated service centre. The terminal will incorporate the one-stop-shop concept by grouping essential services together in one place. They will be Mozambique’s Tax Authority (AT), Kudumba MC-Net, the National Migration Service (SENAMI), customs brokers, and freight forwarders. The purpose is to make cargo processing easier, reduce delays, and improve logistics efficiency overall.
Macuácua also called attention to the strategic nature of the investment, highlighting that the terminal paves the way for the future construction of a dry port. This would integrate national logistics corridors and coastal shipping (cabotage) operations. He said the infrastructure provided by Agility Logistics Parks was ideal for making possible such an ambitious project.
Strategically located in the Chiango area of Marracuene District, the Agility Logistics Park is near principal transport links, including the Maputo Ring Road, the Port of Maputo, Maputo International Airport, the N4 highway to South Africa, and Maputo’s Central Business District – all within a 25-kilometre radius.
It has a total area of 320,000 square metres, wherein 32,000 square metres of built-up warehouse space and 10,000 square metres of open yard were developed under the first phase. Due to its high demand, the park is being further expanded under the second phase of development that would add another 27,000 square metres of warehouse space to the existing 32,000 square metres of Grade A logistics space, aggregating to a total of about 60,000 square metres.
Agility Africa CEO Geoffrey White said the availability of quality, ready-to-occupy warehouse space enables faster, more affordable operations. “It reduces capital requirements on businesses, accelerates market entry, and stimulates economic growth,” he said. Agility Logistics Parks is increasing its footprint in Africa with parks in Mozambique, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, and Egypt – over 1.4 million square metres of industrial real estate in Africa.
