Traffic on the three major trade corridors running through Mozambique is expected to grow as the infrastructure is created for the oil and gas projects.According to a United States government briefing paper, “all major ports need to be expanded or upgraded, new roads and rail lines are required, the local airline needs to expand its f leet, and new airline operators are expected to enter the market in the next few years”.The report identifies three development corridors – Maputo Corridor (south: linked with South Africa and Eswatini), Beira Corridor (centre: linked with Zimbabwe), and Nacala Corridor (north: linked with Malawi and Zambia). Upgrades to the port and the road and rail links to neighbouring countries will attract more vessel calls at the ports – which in turn will make the Mozambican ports and their corridors more competitive as they will be better connected to the rest of the world.
