As part of the CFM privatization process, Cornelder B.V. (a Dutch company) was chosen to form a joint venture with CFM to operate the container and general cargo terminals at the Port of Beira. To this end, Cornelder de Moçambique SARL was created and registered, with Cornelder B.V. holding 70% of the shares and CFM holding 30%.
The infrastructure comprises a pier measuring 645 meters in length and a depth of 12 meters along the projected pier.
The terminal has two ship-to-shore container gantry cranes with a 36-meter reach and the capacity to handle containers of 20, 40 and 45 feet, as well as a maximum lifting capacity of 50 tons at the hook and 40 tons at the spreader. A rail-mounted gantry crane for loading and unloading railcars is operating in the container enclosure, which covers a total area of 200,000 square meters.
The facility has 144 reference points and a granite storage area. There are also two covered warehouses, each covering an area of approximately 11,000 square meters. The terminal's projected capacity is 100,000 TEU per year.
Equipped with modern equipment and more than 30 computers, conditions are created for greater control, speed and efficiency in cargo handling.
