Logistics — Beira
Coal export through the Beira corridor
Beira is Zimbabwe's shortest route to deep water and the natural export gateway for coal heading to East Africa, the Middle East, India and Europe.
We move coal to Beira by rail and road, stage it at the port and load bulk vessels or containers against your shipping instructions.
Route and transit
Hwange to Mutare to Beira runs 5–9 days depending on mode. Rail is the preferred bulk mode; road supplements it when wagon allocation is tight.
Port handling at Beira

Handysize and Supramax bulk parcels for large offtakes; 20-foot containers with liner bags for buyers taking 500–5,000 MT who need cargo protection and simpler destination handling.
