Port of Maputo selects Kalé for PCS rollout

July 2, 2026

Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC) has awarded the contract for its new Port Community System (PCS) to Kalé Logistics Solutions.

The PCS forms part of the Government of Mozambique’s digital transformation strategy and will provide a single digital platform connecting stakeholders across the port and logistics ecosystem.

The system is intended to improve information sharing, automate processes, enhance cargo visibility and support real-time collaboration.

The platform will cover a broad range of port activities, including vessel calls, imports, exports, transhipment, cabotage, truck and rail operations, customs procedures, warehouse management and performance monitoring.

It will also integrate with existing systems, including the Customs Single Window, Terminal Operating Systems (TOS), Vessel Traffic Management Systems (VTMS) and banking and payment platforms.

Hon. João Matlombe, Minister of Transport and Logistics, said: “Digital transformation is no longer an option; it is a prerequisite for competitiveness. The Port Community System represents a strategic step towards a more integrated, efficient and transparent logistics ecosystem, fully aligned with the Government’s vision for the modernisation of transport and trade facilitation.

“As Mozambique’s first Port Community System, this initiative positions the Port of Maputo as a pioneer and lays the foundation for the digital evolution of our national logistics network.”

“We are proud and grateful to the Government of Mozambique for supporting us in building a platform that will help prepare Mozambique for the challenges of the next generation of trade and logistics.”
