The logistics subsidiary of the state-owned Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique (CFM) has acquired two pilot boats to strengthen maritime support operations for the oil and gas sector and expand its capacity to respond to demand, it was announced today.
With these acquisitions, CFM Logistics now has seven vessels in its fleet. In a statement, the company said the newly acquired vessels are positioned at the Port of Nacala, in Nampula province, northern Mozambique, to reinforce operational readiness at one of the country’s main logistics hubs.
According to the company, the vessels are 13.40 metres in length, have a top speed of up to 20 knots and an approximate range of 300 nautical miles. They are equipped with twin engines, modern navigation systems and high safety standards, enabling greater efficiency and reduced waiting times in port and maritime operations.
The company said the two boats will increase its capacity to respond to service demand and keep pace with the growth in vessel traffic, particularly in the context of oil and gas project activity.
“The acquisition of these vessels significantly strengthens our operational capacity. We now have seven vessels operating in the ports of Nacala and Pemba and in Afungi, allowing us to provide a more efficient service and respond to the challenges posed by the industry’s growth,” the statement said, quoting the company’s management.
The company clarified that the acquisition forms part of an investment package estimated at around US$15 million in floating assets for 2026. The subsidiary intends to invest in the modernisation and expansion of its fleet and to consolidate its presence in the logistics value chain of the energy sector.
