The Republic of Mozambique Government has signed concession contracts with the company Thai
Mozambique Logistic SA for the construction of a new mineral port at Macuse in Zambezia, as well
as construction of a railway that will link that port to the Moatize coal basin in Tete province.
The 30 years concession agreement was signed by His Excellency Dr. Gabriel Seraphim Muthisse,
Minister of Transport and Communications, and Mr. Premchai Karnasuta, president of Italian Thai
Development PCL in Maputo.
The railway linking Macuse to Moatize which will be 525 kilometres long, is expected to cost
US$3.5 billion will provide an alternative route to the seaborne export market for Mozambique’s
coal exports.
The Macuse port and railway are of vital importance as an alternative route to the sea for coal
exports from Moatize. Currently, the coal companies depend on the Sena railway from Moatize to
the port of Beira, which can currently handle no more than 6.5 million tonnes a year. But the
projection for coal exports is that they could reach 100 million tonnes a year by 2025.
Italian Thai Development holds 60% of the shares in Thai Mozambique Logistic SA, 20% is held
by Mozambique’s publicly owned ports and rail company, CFM, while the remaining 20% is owned
by the private consortium CODIZA (Zambezia Integrated Development Corridor).
