Beira coal terminal, Mozambique
Name of the Project
Beira coal terminal.
Location
Port of Beira, Mozambique.
Client
Essar Ports signed a 30-year concession agreement with the Mozambique government in August to develop the new coal terminal.
Project Description
The project involves the development of a coal terminal, which will enhance the coal handling capacity of Mozambique by 20-million tonnes a year. The project will be implemented over two phases.
The first phase will entail the development of dedicated berths, along with state-of-the-art, mechanised and environment-friendly systems. The port could be the gateway for imports and exports from the landlocked countries of Zimbabwe, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi and Botswana, as well as boost exports to India.
Potential Job Creation
Once operations start, substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities will be created for the country’s citizens through downstream production and expansion in the supplier and services industry.
Value
The first phase of this project will be developed at an estimated cost of $275-million.
Duration
The terminal is expected to be commissioned in January 2020.
