The Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (Enrc), based in Kazakhstan, is planning to build a completely new railway from Mozambique’s mining area at Moatize to the port of Nacala. The Dow Jones Newsletter quotes Enrc general manager Paul Craven foreseeing 60 million tonnes of coal moving along the line “initially”. Unlike Brazilian mining group Vale’s intended route to Nacala via Blantyre, Enrc’s trains are to bypass Malawi altogether, which means the line is to run through Mozambiquan territory throughout.
