The Beira Corridor Forum
2nd Edition
Join us for a high-level stakeholder forum
The Beira Corridor: The preferred route for refined products in Southern Africa
The Beira Corridor links the port of Beira in Mozambique with key landlocked markets across the region. At its heart is the Beira-Harare pipeline, jointly owned and operated by CPMZ and the National Oil Infrastructure Company of Zimbabwe (NOIC). The pipeline, one of the most important infrastructure arteries in southern Africa, provides the most efficient route for moving refined products from global markets into Zimbabwe and onward to Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and Zambia.”
The forum will bring together regional stakeholders to discuss the corridor’s latest developments, planned investments, and future role in strengthening energy security, trade flows, and economic growth across Southern Africa
Participants will have the opportunity to:
Explore how this critical supply route can support reliable, competitive access to refined products for Southern Africa’s landlocked markets.
Engage directly with CPMZ board members and senior management. Connect with public- and private-sector stakeholders active across the Beira Corridor.”
