CFM has formally launched public tenders to appoint private operators for six strategic railway corridors across the national network. The state-owned ports and railways company is transitioning from direct state management to concession-based models under Mozambique’s Public-Private Partnership framework. The move covers freight-dominant lines connecting landlocked neighbors to Mozambican deepwater ports.
CFM已正式发布招标，为全国铁路网六条战略性走廊选定私营运营商。这家国有港口与铁路公司正依据莫桑比克《公私合作法》框架，从直接国家管理模式转向特许经营制。此次转型涵盖连接内陆邻国与莫桑比克深水港口的货运主导线路。
The tender package includes the 575-kilometer Sena line linking Moatize coal basins to the port of Beira, and the 900-kilometer Nacala corridor serving Malawi and inland mining zones. Combined with the Ressano Garcia, Limpopo, and additional branch lines, the six corridors represent the bulk of Mozambique’s commercially viable rail infrastructure. CFM retains ownership of the track assets while transferring operations, maintenance, and capital reinvestment duties to private consortia.
招标组合包括连接莫阿蒂泽煤田至贝拉港、全长575公里的塞纳线，以及服务于马拉维和内陆矿区、全长900公里的纳卡拉走廊。连同雷萨诺·加西亚线、林波波线及多条支线，六条走廊构成了莫桑比克大部分具有商业可行性的铁路基础设施。CFM保留轨道资产所有权，而将运营、维护及资本再投资职责转移至私营联合体。
Winning bidders will operate under 30-year concession agreements, the statutory ceiling for strategic infrastructure under Mozambique’s concession legislation. Operators bear full responsibility for rolling stock procurement, track rehabilitation, and port-rail interface investments. Revenue streams derive primarily from freight tariffs and ancillary logistics services rather than government availability payments.
中标方将依据莫桑比克特许经营立法，按最高30年期限签署特许经营协议。运营商须全权负责机车车辆采购、轨道修复及港铁联运界面投资。收入来源主要来自货运关税及配套物流服务，而非政府可用性付费。
Mozambique levies a standard corporate income tax rate of 32% on operational profits, though rail concessions typically secure reduced effective rates or tax holidays under the Investment Law. The standard value-added tax rate is 16%, but project-related imports of rolling stock and signaling equipment are eligible for VAT suspension under large-scale infrastructure status. Foreign operators must incorporate a local subsidiary or enter a joint venture with a Mozambican-registered firm.
莫桑比克对经营利润征收32%的标准企业所得税，但铁路特许经营通常可依据《投资法》获得降低的实际税率或免税期。标准增值税率为16%，而与项目相关的机车车辆及信号设备进口，在大规模基础设施身份下可享受增值税暂停征收。外国运营商必须设立本地子公司或与莫桑比克注册企业成立合资公司。

The tender process is active as of October 2026, with CFM evaluating technical and financial proposals from international consortia. Pre-qualification demands proven African rail-freight experience, minimum capitalization, and bank guarantees. Proposals must quantify rehabilitation capex, projected tonnage, and environmental compliance for each corridor.
截至2026年10月，招标程序正在进行中，CFM正在评审国际联合体的技术与财务方案。资格预审要求具备经证的非洲铁路货运经验、最低资本金及银行保函。方案必须量化各走廊的修复资本支出、预测运量及环境合规情况。
Step 1: Request the official tender protocol from CFM or its financial adviser immediately to capture exact submission deadlines and mandatory pre-qualification thresholds. Step 2: Incorporate a local entity or sign a joint-venture agreement with a Mozambican-registered firm before submitting the technical proposal. Step 3: Secure a preliminary tax ruling from the Ministry of Economy and Finance to confirm VAT suspension and effective income-tax rates for the 30-year concession period.
第一步：立即向CFM相关顾问索取正式招标规程，获取准确截止日期及强制性资格预审门槛。第二步：在提交技术方案前，注册本地实体或与莫桑比克注册企业签署合资协议。第三步：向经济与财政部申请初步税务裁定，确认30年特许经营期内的增值税暂停政策及实际所得税率。
