Transnet Freight Rail has signed a co-operative agreement with its Mozambican railways counterpart, Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique , to boost exports of chrome and ferro-chrome from Belfast in Mpumalanga province, direct to the Maputo Port in Mozambique.
The Minerals Council South Africa has flagged chrome as one of the commodities which is losing out on significant export opportunities because of continued poor railing performance. This replaces a current operating model that involves exchanging of locomotives which require five crews from origin to destination and result in significant time delays each time the locomotives are exchanged.
Transnet Freight Rail said it expects that this will significantly reduce the number of chrome and ferro-chrome trucks on the road en route from South Africa to the Maputo Port and estimates the increased volume by rail will remove some 200 trucks from the road per week.
