28 Feb 2024
"Through implementing a comprehensive strategy, we plan to double our turnover in the mining unit during 2024,” he told Freight News. "Anticipating future demand, we are directing greater investments towards expanding our fleet and venturing into new SADC countries, positioning ourselves for success in emerging markets and ensuring a robust growth trajectory.”
Tiago Pocinho also highlighted two new business units that the company launched in 2023: "We launched our abnormal and heavy haul solutions unit in 2023 to support the project cargo services to the mining industry and more recently, due to our experience in air, sea and road transportation and in response to market demand, we launched the hazardous, explosives, chemicals and petrochemical unit dedicated to cross-border transportation.”
With regard to the sector's challenges, the Country Manager for South Africa and Zambia considers that while investment in infrastructure has been increasing, it needs to remain at the top of the continent's agenda. Welcoming investments into the expansion of the railway links between the Port of Lobito in Angola and the mines in northern Zambia and the south of the DRC, he said by connecting these three countries, it would now be possible to increase exports from Zambia, Angola and the DRC, boosting the regional circulation of goods.
