Mozambique coal sector sees disruptions, deals and bankruptcy

Railway traffic on Mozambique’s Sena line, used to convey coal (along with other cargo and passengers) mined in the Moatize basin in Tete province to the port city of Beira for export, was disrupted from the morning of January 7 to January 11, as a result of torrential rains. This was reported by the Empresa Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique (better known as CFM), the national railways and ports company. Severe rains had previously halted the traffic on the line for periods in 2013 and 2014.
