Shipping lines invest in Moz ports

Five major shipping lines with

regular liner service calls on

Mozambique have formed

the Associação das Linhas

de Navegação (ALN) to work

with the local authorities to

improve the competitiveness of

Mozambican ports which serve

the southern African region.

The lines are CMA/CGM,

Ignazio Messina, Maersk/

Safmarine, MSC, and PIL.

Announcing the formation

of the association, ALN

chairman Captain Roberto del

Vecchio said in a media release:

“Shipping lines have recently

made huge investments

to promote trade with

Mozambique.

“We expect these

investments will produce the

necessary results and we are

confident that we will find

the best collaboration from all

involved in the interests of the

country, its economy and most

importantly, its people”.
