TFR seeks more supply chain partnerships

Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) is increasingly looking at the supply chain from end-toend as part of a strategy to lower the country’s logistics costs and create a better road and rail balance. “Moving forward, our extensive capital investment is focused on how we can unlock regional corridors and where we need to invest to achieve our objectives,” said TFR chief executive Siyabonga Gama. To that end, TFR is looking at an integrated value chain approach with investment in both rail and port facilities and infrastructure. He noted that bimodalism was gaining momentum globally, as was the development of multi-modal freight parks. “TFR will be seeking increased partnerships with freight logistics service providers to provide an integrated intermodal solution,” he said.
