This suggests that although it was said by the Mozambican minister for transport, to be heading for Luanda, Angola, it was actually steaming for a Mozambican port, since Mozambique is has an East African coast and not Angola. The closest port to Zim is in fact Beira in Mozambique, 290km from Mutare, Zim. In this context the reported presence of 10 Chinese soldiers in Mutare is also interesting. Perhaps the Mozambicans were reluctant to allow in the ship and gave the reason that there was no prior arrangement, so the emergency is a way to let it dock in Mozambique, for emergency reasons. What then happens to the cargo?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('197874','beng'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('197874','beng','The Lloyds register has a new entry for that ship, dated 2 hours ago, listing it as a casualty off the East African coast.
