The black empowered company based in Cape Town and with offices and workshops in Durban and Mossel Bay, has landed several new and interesting contracts in Mozambique. These include securing a key harbour towage contract in the port of Beira, as well as a more recent success with a contract signed with Brazilian mining group Vale to provide two vessels at Beira in support of a new offshore coal terminal out of Beira. To service this contract two tugs are being provided, a newbuild Damen Stan tug and the Pentow Service, the latter being the former Durban offshore single buoy mooring service tug. Managing Director Paul Maclons said that in the last 24 months SMIT Amandla Marine has secured a good foothold in Mozambique with the Port of Beira contract and the more recent marine services contract signed with Vale. “This is for two vessels, marine services and the provision of an offshore terminal out of Beira,” he explained. 3/24
