SARA pushes for greater regional integration in rail development

As the Southern African Railway Association (SARA) pushes ahead with the drafting of a regional railway master plan, Namibia State-owned freight utility TransNamib CEO and SARA VP Johny Smith has confirmed the association is engaging with the Development Bank of Southern Africa on the viability of the plan. During the SARA Rail Conference hosted this week, Smith highlighted that a regional railway plan must be customer-centric, focused on proactive services, have solid supply chain principles, promote new technology and encourage partnerships for innovation on energy, communication, intermodal freight movement, equipment handling and maintenance.
