We receive the fuel directly at the port of Beira and, by means of pumping operations backed by a strict control system, we transport the product to Feruka, in Zimbabwe, through a 294-kilometre pipeline of 10 inches in diameter. Besides the pipeline, CPMZ’s assets include pumping stations at Beira and Maforga (Manica) and administrative facilities in Beira and Maputo, as well as a reception terminal at Feruka, in Zimbabwe.
Along the entire fuel transport line, the pumps and equipment used by CPMZ meet the highest engineering standards. It has a complex fuel pumping infrastructure with equipment and systems based on cutting-edge technologies, a world industry benchmark in hydrocarbon processing and transport facilities.
We guarantee real-time monitoring of the pipeline and everything that happens in the pumping stations by using an advanced control system for pumping operations. Our system has three technological aspects:
- Extremely reliable hardware.
.
- Software based on SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) technologies, internationally recognised for their ability to transform industrial system monitoring data into intelligent information to support decision-making, effective control and critical event management.
.
- Modern telemetry system. Our high-tech operations are carried out by an experienced and highly qualified team. Circa 30% of CPMZ’s employees are technical staff. This high level of technical know-how bolsters our in-house ability to make repairs and deal with other maintenance needs.
In this mix of experience and innovation, CPMZ’s history is testimony to the reliability of our operations which are designed to cope with unforeseen events. The quality of the assets, remote monitoring of the entire pipeline and teams that are always ready minimise the risk of failures and guarantee an immediate response in different scenarios. After Cyclone Idai destroyed much of the Beira area in 2019, CPMZ was able to resume operations in just 10 days.
Our operations are fully certified at the environmental and energy level, in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.
