Nacala Port New Coal Terminal is a port and logistics project serving Mozambique. It seeks to improve vessel access, cargo handling and landside logistics through dredging, berths, terminals, equipment or access infrastructure. The Nacala coal terminal is an operating bulk-export facility associated with the Nacala logistics corridor. It handles coal through dedicated rail and port infrastructure.
<p>The Nacala Railway Corridor Project will transport approximately 18 million tons of coal, derived from the expansion of Moatize Mine (Mozambique) through a railway system connecting the existing mine in Moatize to a new coal terminal in Nacala Velha (Mozambique). The project was funded by Vale, and has the potential of being developed into a transport corridor for Mozambique's Tete Province, and potentially Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The coal terminal will have the capacity to handle 30 million tons per annum.</p>
<p>Implementation of a cost-effective logistics solution for coal exports.
