Inauguration of CPMZ’s capacity increase from two to three million m3 

His Excellency Mr. Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, the President of the Republic of Mozambique, inaugurated this Thursday, August 29, 2024, at the Port of Beira, the two new platforms built by Companhia do Pipeline Moçambique-Zimbabwe (CPMZ), one in Beira (Sofala) and another in Maforga (Manica). The new platforms allowed CPMZ to increase the pipeline’s fuel pumping capacity from Beira to Feruka, in Zimbabwe, from the previous two million to the current three million cubic meters per year.

CPMZ’s installed capacity increases by almost 50%

The construction of the new pumping platforms, begun in 2020, has been successfully completed and, since 1 January 2024, as planned, CPMZ has been at an advanced commissioning and integration testing phase with the oil terminals at Beira port.
