South Africa can boost coal shipments to ports after last year's record decline if it secures locomotives that were idled following a dispute with a key Chinese supplier, South Africa's state-owned rail and ports operator said on Tuesday.
"If we're able to find a solution with CRRC, we know that they have the ability to bring back those locomotives as quickly as possible," Mzimela said at a mining conference in Johannesburg.
An agreement with CRRC could help Transnet secure 159 locomotives that are currently being idled within six months, she said.
