Macuse re-emerges as new Mozambique coal export option

Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Botswana will enhance the Beira-Zimbabwe-Botswana railway and develop a US$1.5 billion deepwater port at Techobanine.

The Port of Nacala in Mozambique handled 13.6 Mt of coal last year, exceeding expectations after Vale’s 2023 exit but below the initial railway target.

Vale transported 10 Mt of coal from its open cast Moatize mine to the ports of Beira and Nacala in the first 10 months of this year.

Vale and Mitsui have announced that they have signed binding finance contracts for the development of the Nacala Logistics Corridor (NLC).

The Port of Maputo has been dredged to allow much larger vessels to use Matola Coal Terminal.
