The head of the city council in Nacala, Mozambique, says that the development of the port could be severely hampered by a severe shortage of skilled personnel. He claims that the brand-new coal terminal currently being built will require at least 400 skilled people to operate it and these currently do not exist in Nacala. He therefore calls for an immediate training programme to be implemented by terminal operator CVRD, if the port is to be able to successfully load vessels up to 260,000dwt.
