Transnet Freight Rail and Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique (CFM – Railways of Mozambique) have signed a historic agreement to introduce a cross-border export channel for chrome that will remove hundreds of trucks from the roads in the coming weeks.
Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) announced in a statement on Friday that it had signed the agreement with CFM, its Mozambican railways counterpart. The agreement will allow for the immediate implementation of a train run through model that will see exports of chrome and ferrochrome move seamlessly from Belfast in Mpumalanga, direct to the Port of Maputo in Mozambique.
