Abstract

The article focuses on the decline in shipments at Mozambique's Maputo port during the first half of the year, attributed to trade uncertainties and social unrest. The port handled 14.1 million tons of cargo from January to June, an 8% decrease from 15.3 million tons in the same period the previous year. Contributing factors included ongoing demonstrations following disputed elections and reduced ferrochrome exports from South Africa due to electricity issues. Despite the downturn, the port has recently experienced a recovery in volumes, with the operator noting a significant increase since May. [Extracted from the article]
