New Export Reefer Yard Opens in the Port of Beira Reefer exports through the Port of Beira have been growing steadily. In addition to the traditional seafood exports, citrus fruits are now increasingly using the Beira Corridor. To meet this rising demand, CdM has constructed a new export reefer yard with a capacity of 64 reefer plugs. Conveniently located near the quays, this new reefer yard will help alleviate pressure on the existing yard, which currently holds 144 reefer plugs. In addition, the main reefer yard will undergo an expansion. By the end of this year, its capacity will increase to 224 plugs, with another 64 plugs scheduled for installation in 2025. This will bring the total reefer capacity at the Port of Beira to 288 plugs in 2024 and 352 plugs by 2025. With these expansions, Beira Port is well positioned to meet the growing demands for reefer cargo—both imports and exports—for the hinterland. Managing the increased volume is made easier by the recent launch of the Reefer Monitoring System (RMS). This system enables real-time remote monitoring and management of reefer containers through our terminal operating system, ensuring optimal temperature control and the safety of your cargo. These improvements are part of our ongoing strategy to enhance the Port of Beira’s facilities, ensuring we’re always prepared to meet the evolving needs of our customers and partners. Stay connected with us as we continue to develop world-class infrastructure to support your business. #PortOfBeira #Logistics #ReeferYardExpansion #TradeFacilitation #RefrigeratedCargo #SupplyChain #CornelderdeMocambique #InfrastructureExpansion #ExportReefers #Citrus

Adelino Albano Luís awarded in Beira as the winner of the Prêmio Literário Mia Couto Mozambican writer Adelino Albano Luís was awarded this Thursday, September 12, as the grand winner of the 2nd edition of the Prêmio Literário Mia Couto in the prose category, receiving a check for 400,000 meticais from Mia Couto and Cornelder de Moçambique's CEO, Jan de Vries, during a ceremony held at Casa do Artista in the city of Beira. The Prize, launched in June 2023, is an initiative of Cornelder in partnership with the Associação Literária Kulemba. Adelino Luís won this year's award with his book “Estórias trazidas pela ventania” published by Fundza. The work was distinguished, according to the Prize Jury, "for its thematic richness, linguistic versatility, and consistent construction of the short stories." For this 2nd edition of the Mia Couto Literary Prize, the Jury decided, by "unanimity," as explained on the occasion by Marcelo Panguana, not to award any of the entries in the poetry category, "due to the existence of some weaknesses in their poetic construction, a decision that is provided for in Article 23 of the Prize Regulations." Speaking at the ceremony, Cornelder de Moçambique's Deputy Executive Director, António Libombo, emphasized once again the significance of the Prize, an initiative by CdM in partnership with the Associação Literária Kulemba, bearing Mia Couto's name, as his "literary trajectory serves as an example" for all Mozambicans. He added that CdM will continue to support the development of culture in the country and congratulated the winner of this 2nd edition, hoping that next year there will be more participants in the Prêmio Literário Mia Couto. Adelino Albano Luís was born in 1998 in Chimoio, Manica province. He holds a degree in Philosophy from UEM and is also the author of the book “Cronicontos da Cabeça do Velho (2022)”. #Premioliterariomiacouto #Miacouto #Cornelderdemocambique #Portofbeira #Kulemba

Port of Beira’s General Cargo Terminal Achieves Historic Volumes in July 2024. The General Cargo Terminal at Port of Beira reached a historic milestone last July, handling a record monthly volume of 442,000 tons, compared to 199,000 tons in July 2023, marking a 122% increase. This growth was driven by increased imports of clinker and maize for domestic needs, along with a significant rise in wheat, equipment, and sulfur imports for regional countries. In terms of exports, there was notable geographical diversification, with contributions from three countries, including the export of local eucalyptus and Zambian manganese. Zimbabwe continues to lead the export market through Port of Beira. Overall, the General Cargo Terminal recorded a 24% increase in volume over the first seven months of the year, compared to the same period in 2023. The Container Terminal also saw strong growth, with a 40% increase in the first seven months of the year, handling 226,000 containers compared to 160,000 containers in the same period in 2023. Zimbabwe remains a key driver of exports through Port of Beira, particularly with chromium, lithium, petalite, and tobacco. Meanwhile, Malawi registered significant growth in cotton and tea exports. Tobacco volumes are expected to rise in the coming months, further strengthening the port's position as a regional export hub.

Launch of the 6th Edition of Légua da Beira Cornelder de Moçambique (CdM), at a press conference, launched the 6th edition of the Légua da Beira on Wednesday, June 19th. The event will take place on July 20th in the capital of Sofala, returning to the cold season after being held on October 14th last year (2023) as part of CdM's 25th-anniversary celebrations. Légua da Beira, an athletics competition that has become a hallmark of Cornelder de Moçambique in the country and the region, will once again be open and feature a 7.2-kilometer course. It is organized with the technical partnership of the Provincial Athletics Association of Sofala (APAS). Registration will take place from June 21st to July 12th at the APAS facilities in the Pavilhão dos Desportos da Beira. Cornelder de Moçambique's Executive Managing Director, Jan de Vries, stated that this year, "Légua da Beira, which needs no introduction as it is already a well-known event in the country and the region, will involve a total of 3,750 athletes, an increase of 250 participants compared to the 2023 edition. This is the official number, but it is known that many more people run on this day for their health (without being registered)." CdM’s EMD also announced a novelty for this year's edition, Légua da Beira App, an application developed from scratch by interns from the Cornelder CodeLabs Program, aimed at ensuring that registrations occur with greater security and reliability, as well as the process of validating results. "With this platform managing Légua da Beira, participant registration will be faster, using artificial intelligence. We managed to combine our two initiatives to improve the Légua da Beira, and we are proud of that. Also, remember that we have electronic timing from past editions," he emphasized. Jan de Vries thanked the support of partners and all collaborators, such as "the Health Department, the Beira Municipal Council, the Traffic Police, the media, and others," who help make the event a success. CdM's Deputy Executive Director, António Libombo, said that the prizes remain the same as the previous edition, "because they are the best for an event of this kind in the country and are attractive," to the point of attracting athletes from other parts of the country and the southern region. APAS Secretary-General, Titos Mulinga, assured that the technical aspects are taken care of and thanked Cornelder de Moçambique for not only ensuring the event's organization each year but also improving its quality. "This year we will also have digital registration, which will prevent, in real-time, for example, someone from registering in two categories," he said, adding that "we want to make this edition better than the previous one." #leguadabeira #6aedicao #Beira #Cornelderdemocambique #Corneldermoz
