Essar Plans Iron Ore Terminal in Mozambique for Exports From Zimbabwe

Bloomberg reports that Essar Global will build a terminal in Mozambique to handle up to 20 million metric tons of iron ore exports a year from Zimbabwe.

Essar did not say how much it would spend building the terminal and pipeline, and Coovadia said that “some of the plans we have are firm, but others are non-firm,” according to Securities Africa.
