The Preparatory Survey on Nacala Port Development Project in the Republic of Mozambique Final Report

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) decided to conduct the preparatory survey on Nacala Port Development Project in the Republic of Mozambique, and organized a survey team headed by Dr. Kobune of Ides and consists of OCDI, Oriental Consultants, ECOH CORPORATION, and Ides between June, 2010 and April, 2011. The survey team held a series of discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of the Republic of Mozambique, and conducted field investigations. As a result of further studies in Japan, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. The Study Team compiled this report, which proposed the Medium and Long-term Development Plan of Nacala Port with the target year of 2030 and the Short-term Development Plan, and selected the Urgent Rehabilitation Project through close consultations with officials of the Mozambique Government, in particular, Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Mocambique E.P. (CFM), as well as the Management of Corredor de Desenvolvimento do Norte (CDN), and authorities concerned.
