By supporting this essential public infrastructure, MPDC has extended its action beyond the boundaries of the port, to the island of Kanyaka, located 40 km away, thereby strengthening the link between maritime activity, urban development and the daily lives of the island\u2019s residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For generations, access to the island was limited by the absence of safe and suitable infrastructure for the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers and goods. Travel was particularly difficult for children, the elderly, people with reduced mobility and passengers carrying provisions. The new jetty bridge has radically changed this reality, providing a safer, more dignified and more reliable link between the island and Maputo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This improved link facilitates the movement of residents, tourists and traders, the delivery of essential goods and the intervention of emergency services, while creating new prospects for tourism, local trade and employment. It also strengthens access to education, healthcare and other services available on the mainland. The Kanyaka jetty bridge represents much more than a mere physical infrastructure: it is a bridge to opportunity, inclusion and development, illustrating how a port\u2019s commitment to its territory can help build a more connected, more accessible and more resilient city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Design by: <\/strong>CONSULMAR Projectistas Consultores, lda; Environmental Study: CONSULTEC<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Images of the project<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" data-id=\"4448\" src=\"https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_04_tablier_passerelle-1024x472.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_04_tablier_passerelle-1024x472.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_04_tablier_passerelle-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_04_tablier_passerelle-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_04_tablier_passerelle-1536x708.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_04_tablier_passerelle.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" data-id=\"4445\" src=\"https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_05_ponton_ferry-1024x472.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_05_ponton_ferry-1024x472.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_05_ponton_ferry-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_05_ponton_ferry-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_05_ponton_ferry-1536x708.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_05_ponton_ferry.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"4440\" src=\"https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_03_vue_aerienne_nuit-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_03_vue_aerienne_nuit-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_03_vue_aerienne_nuit-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_03_vue_aerienne_nuit-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_03_vue_aerienne_nuit.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"4441\" src=\"https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_02_vue_aerienne_cote-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_02_vue_aerienne_cote-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_02_vue_aerienne_cote-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_02_vue_aerienne_cote-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_02_vue_aerienne_cote-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aivp-rufenacht-prize.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Maputo_KaNyaca_02_vue_aerienne_cote.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Maputo Port Development Company<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC) is a private Mozambican company owned by Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Mo\u00e7ambique (CFM) and Portus Indico, a partnership comprising Grindrod, DP World and Mozambique Gestores.
