STEAMER's DAY IN PORTUGUESE AFRICA

Portuguese passenger and mail liner IMPÉRIO (1948-1974) berthed in a Portuguese Africa port, probably Porto Amélia, in Mozambique.
Can someone identify the place?
IMPÉRIO was one of three Cia Colonial liners on the Mozambique service with fleet mates PÁTRIA (1947-1973) and INFANTE DOM HENRIQUE (1961-1975).
The Lisbon - East Africa service was also operated by three other passenger ships, the sisters ANGOLA (1948-1974) and MOÇAMBIQUE (1949-1972), and the PRINCIPE PERFEITO (1961-1975). What a beautiful fleet so much missed...
