Moatize is the principal town and administrative centre of Moatize District in Tete Province, western Mozambique, on the eastern side of the Zambezi River where the Moatize and Revuboe Rivers meet. After Tete it is the second largest urban area in western Mozambique. Its economy rests on coking coal from the surrounding coal basin, estimated at 2.5 billion tons, where the Brazilian company Vale won a mining concession in 2006 and several other mining companies operate. The N7 highway and the Sena railway branch from Beira reach the town, and the Nacala railway links the coal basin to a harbour at Nacala-a-Velha.
