New Moz coal railway line takes step forward

In a further step towards easing transport bottlenecks for coal mining companies operating in Mozambique’s inland Tete province, a Sino-Portuguese consortium has signed a contract with local company Thai Moçambique Logística to build a 500 km railway from the coal rich Moatize district to the coast at Macuse, in Zambézia province. This was announced in a communication to the Portuguese Securities Market Commission, dated June 13.
