The Port of Nacala, also called the Nacala port complex, is a Mozambican port located in the cities of Nacala and Nacala-a-Velha. Is the deepest port in Southern Africa.[2][3] The natural deep harbour serves landlocked Malawi with a 931-kilometre (578 mi) railway.

CLIN was created to administer licenses for cargo terminals in addition to passenger terminals.
