Delagoa Shipping and Logistics, Lda – known simply as Delagoa SL – was founded almost a decade ago with the aim of applying a fresh outlook and innovative mindset to delivering agency services across Mozambique.
Delagoa SL started operations in March 2015 from our Maputo headquarters, and today we offer the full range of ships agency and freight forwarding services – including logistics related to the shipping industry – as well as charter brokering.
In April 2015 we opened our first branch office in Beira and then in July 2015 opened a second branch in Nacala, pursuing our strategic programme of operational expansion throughout Mozambique in order to best cater to our clients’ requirements.
Continuing expansion saw us open our third branch office in Pemba during 2018, providing our services to the growing Oil & Gas (O&G) sector in the Palma region, in the northern part of Cabo Delgado province.
Today Delagoa SL covers all the main ports of Mozambique, serving a diverse portfolio of domestic and international clients throughout the SADC – including many across the landlocked hinterland nations.
Now, as Delagoa SL approaches its landmark 10th Anniversary in 2025, our founding mission is unchanged – to ensure all our clients continue to enjoy the innovation and cost-efficiency which lies at the heart of our team’s customer service ethos.
