Nagi
Investments has rented two boats to facilitate its daily operations and improve
passenger crossings to the other side of the Monapo River in Nampula Province.
The
boats from Nagi that depart from Cabo Delgado are destined for the Monapo
River, while those leaving from Nampula and other provinces also end up at this
river.
According
to information obtained by Mozanorte, the company provides fuel daily to keep
the boats operational. In addition to serving its own clients, this initiative
also benefits the local population that relies on these crossings for their
daily activities.
However,
the local government has not been supplying fuel for the operation of these
boats, which hampers Nagi Investments' ability to continue its services. Due to
this issue, the boats were idle for nearly two hours while waiting for a
response from the relevant authorities. The stoppage began after the captains
requested refueling.
Mozanorte
has learned that currently, there are no state-operated vessels operating in
that stretch of the river. Even when there is an intention to assist, few
people come forward to help.
The
support provided by the company includes free transportation for passengers,
with only cargo crossings being charged based on direct negotiations with the
captains.
After
two hours of inactivity, a discussion took place between company
representatives and members of the Coastal and River Police (PCLF), Intransmar,
and the Navy, who work in collaboration with the company in that region. (BP)
