Brief description of services provided

The complexity of the project and the business conditions in Mozambique in general, suggests the need for a thorough feasibility study to structure and prioritise the project.  In particular the sequence of construction of land-based processing facilities and purchase of a factory vessel with freezing capacity needs consideration.  The economics of both options have to be determined within the feasibility study.
