The railway (CFCO) is essential for transport and logistics in Congo. However, rail transport suffers from outdated infrastructure. The government will rehabilitate the railway line, engineering structures, and station buildings along the rail network.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The vast majority of goods arriving in or departing from the country use this infrastructure. This corridor offers the country an exceptional advantage. It represents one of the best opportunities to diversify an economy still heavily reliant on oil production.<\/p>\n

\"\"However, the aging railway infrastructure is a cause for concern: of the 43 mainline locomotives owned by CFCO, the company operating the railway network, only 12 are in service. CFCO's activities are limited to transporting small volumes of freight. Four Belgian-made locomotives were delivered to CFCO in January 2023. These acquired locomotives represent the beginning of a recovery for the company's operations. They will be used to haul passenger trains or medium-tonnage services for transporting fuel, cement, or other essential goods. Passenger service between Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville resumed on April 27, 2023.<\/p>\n

With several hundred million tons of iron ore deposits, the Mbalam (Cameroon) and Nabeba (Congo) deposits are a major asset for the development of the mining sector in both countries. Consequently, Cameroon and the Republic of Congo have decided to extend the railway line used to transport iron ore from the Mbalam-Nabeba project, which is shared by both countries. Named Nabeba-Mbalam-Kribi, this railway line will now be 610 km long, compared to 540 km previously. The infrastructure will be developed in 2023 in both countries by Bestway Finance. The Mbalam-Nabeba project contains mineral resources of approximately 800 million tons and can be exploited for several decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Congo is considering the construction of a railway line to serve the north and south in order to facilitate the export of mineral and hydrocarbon products. This 1,000 km railway, linking the Sangha department to Pointe-Noire, the emerging mineral port, is expected to require an investment of $10 billion.<\/p>\n

Five challenges will be addressed, including the rehabilitation of the railway line, engineering structures, and station buildings along the rail network. The ministry will also be responsible for repairing the long tunnel, upgrading the rolling stock, constructing a rolling stock maintenance and repair workshop in Brazzaville, and reopening railway training schools.<\/p>\n
