Mozambique’s new Nacala coal line already in line for upgrade

In Mozambique, the coal transport capacity of the new Nacala Corridor railway route, from the inland Moatize coal field to the port city of Nacala-a-Velha, will be increased with a $3-billion investment in the near future. This was reported last week by Mozambican Cabinet spokesperson Mouzinho Saíde in Maputo. He made the announcement because the Mozambican government had, as the concessionary of the ports and most of the railway lines concerned, approved a direct agreement with the concessionaires involved, the Northern Development Corridor (abbreviated to CDN in Portuguese) and the Nacala Integrated Logistics Corridor (CLN being its Portuguese abbreviation).
