The Beira Corridor Forum called for stronger regional cooperation and infrastructure investment to secure fuel supplies in Southern Africa. Mozambican company Companhia do Pipeline Moçambique-Zimbabwe plans to increase the annual capacity of its Beira-Feruka pipeline from three to five million cubic metres by December 2027, according to the forum’s report.

The annual transport capacity of the Beira-Feruka pipeline between Mozambique and Zimbabwe is to increase from three to five million cubic metres by December 2027. The expansion includes the construction of two additional pumping stations, Companhia do Pipeline Moçambique-Zimbabwe (CPMZ) announced at the Beira Corridor Forum, according to Club of Mozambique.

The meeting, held on 27 October in Livingstone, Zambia, brought together government representatives, investors and infrastructure stakeholders to discuss fuel supplies in the region. The Beira Corridor serves Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana and the Katanga region in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, among others.

Patrick Dias da Cunha, CPMZ’s director and chief executive, said the company was working with the Mozambican and Zimbabwean governments to develop the corridor into a regional energy supply route. The stated aim is to make Harare a fuel distribution hub for neighbouring markets, including Zambia, Malawi, Botswana and the DRC.
