CPMZ: Driving regional development for over 40 years

Connecting the Port of Beira in Mozambique to Harare in Zimbabwe, Companhia do Pipeline Moçambique-Zimbabwe (CPMZ) has, for more than 40 years, ensured the continuous supply of diesel and gasoline to Zimbabwe and neighbouring countries, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

On May 31st, the CPMZ pipeline broke yet another pumping record, transporting a monthly volume of 244,000 m³ of fuel. For the year 2026, we estimate a total throughput of approximately 2.8 million m³ of diesel and gasoline.

To meet the region’s growing demand, CPMZ has launched an ambitious expansion plan built on a shared vision with the Government of Zimbabwe — positioning Harare as the definitive distribution hub for Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, and Botswana:

  • Phase 1 of the expansion plan was completed in 2024, raising CPMZ’s pipeline capacity from 2 to 3 million m³.
  • CPMZ has advanced to the final stages of its Phase 2 expansion preparation, targeting a total capacity of 5 million m³ per year. Construction of two additional pumping stations is set to begin with a groundbreaking ceremony on September 1, 2026.
  •  Looking further ahead, CPMZ has already begun preliminary studies for replacing its pipeline with a larger-diameter pipe to meet regional hinterland demand through 2050 — a replacement that, as before, will be carried out without interrupting operations.
  • In addition to the capacity expansion, a future extension of the pipeline from Harare to Lusaka in Zambia is also under evaluation. This will increase the capillarity of the Beira Corridor into the heart of Zambia and the Copperbelt, bringing all the advantages of pipeline transport: greater economic efficiency, higher quality, and lower environmental impact.


Zimbabwe and the hinterland countries increasingly rely on CPMZ as their preferred fuel transporter. Once again, and always, the region’s security of supply can count on CPMZ’s reliability and proven ability to deliver.

We make it happen.
