Super Group opens terminal in Maputo

In December 2008 TAL (Trans Africa Logistics), part of the Supply Chain division, opened a terminal in Maputo capable of handling bulk and containerised cargo for both the export and import market. The terminal is serviced by a railway line directly from the Port of Maputo, as well as the main line from Zimbabwe/Zambia.

An arrangement with CRM, the Mozambican railway service, ensures two shunts per day from the port. Empty containers are railed to the bonded area, offloaded using specialised container handling equipment, filled and then re-loaded onto trains and transported back to the port for export. The terminal also has good road access and customs officials are on site to handle inspections and clearances of both general cargo and motorised vehicles.

Super Group is one of the loyal founding members of the Maputo Corridor Logistics Initiative (MCLI) and this venture is affirmation of our commitment to job creation, more efficient service and economic growth within the region.
