Inauguration of the new facilities of the National Migration Service at the Port of Maputo

On May 20, 2024, the Port of Maputo celebrated an important milestone with the inauguration of new facilities for the National Migration Service (Serviço Nacional de Migração – SENAMI).

Thanks to an investment of 13.6 million meticais, this modern modular building, built by Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC) under the extended concession agreement signed in February, considerably improves working conditions and service capacity. The new facilities are specially equipped to handle cruise ship passengers and other migration services, guaranteeing a smoother, more efficient process.

Dr. Juma António Costa and Dr. Tomás Dembele, present at the ceremony, expressed their satisfaction with the improved conditions.

Osório Lucas, CEO of MPDC, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to excellence and challenged SENAMI to integrate digital services, similar to those of Mozambique Customs, to increase efficiency.

The historic building that formerly housed SENAMI will be repurposed as a museum and port information center, preserving its heritage while serving a new function.
