Teresa Empis Falcão is the author of the Mozambique chapter in the latest edition of Lexology Panoramic: Ports and Terminals, an international guide analysing the legal frameworks governing the ports and terminals sector across multiple jurisdictions.

In the Mozambique chapter, the VdA Partner provides a structured overview of the legal and regulatory regime applicable to the country’s main ports — Maputo, Beira and Nacala — examining the operating models and reforms that have shaped the sector’s evolution. The chapter also addresses public port development policies and green port initiatives, as well as the contractual frameworks in place, including public contracts and public-private partnerships.

The analysis further explores the business, financial and competition-related aspects of port activity, together with dispute-related issues and recent developments in the sector in Mozambique.
