Work has started on the building of a rail link through Malawi between the Tete coalfields and the port of Nacala. Mining services company WorleyParsons has been awarded the contract to build the rail link between Nacala and a coal mine owned by Brazilian resources giant, Vale. The 584km-long rail link will be able to transport 18 million tons of coal a year. The Nacala Rail Corridor Project will be undertaken by WorleyParsons’ Mozambique and South Africa divisions. They will also complete the detailed design and maintenance of the facility at Nacala.
