Built to Deliver Certainty
Maritime Logistics for Mozambique's LNG Construction and Operations
• Full cabotage license. Maputo to Palma.
• 100% Mozambican private ownership.
OUR STORY
Everything we do is built around this coastline, these waters, and the operations that depend on them.
We are 100% Mozambican-owned. Not because regulation requires it. Because this is who we are.
/ˈmɛli/
noun
vessel; a craft of the sea
Swahili
When most operators pulled out, we stayed. We supported our vessel network, maintained our partnerships, and held every license through five years of disruption.
The sector is moving again. We never stopped.
