The South African Department of Transport has launched an online platform allowing private companies to partner with the government in bolstering public rail and road freight logistics. The initiative aims to address infrastructure challenges facing the country's rail and port systems, attracting private investment and improving efficiency.
South Africa has opened an online portal where companies can ask to assist the government with key road and rail logistics operations.
“This overwhelming interest has made it clear that the Department and Transnet must engage in broad and inclusive market engagement before issuing Requests for Proposals in August this year,” says Creecy, explaining that “These are not formal procurement processes in themselves but a mechanism to understand and source information from the market.”
It also includes the Limpopo and Mpumalanga to Richards Bay Bulk Minerals Corridor PSP Project for coal and chrome exports.
