From Road to Rail: Revolutionizing Logistics in Africa

Block Train Solution – Mozambique to Zimbabwe

CEVA recently completed its first full block train in Africa, which moved customer cargo from Mozambique’s Cornelder Port to Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. The block train carried cargo for more than 10 CEVA customers across 341 miles (549 kilometers) to its destination. With close collaboration between the Mozambique Port Authorities, CFM railway, and CEVA in Zimbabwe, the cargo train successfully transported more than 30 containers, making CEVA one of the few logistics companies to move an entire block train on that strategic route.

“Thanks to partners like CEVA Logistics, we can provide reliable and cost-effective cross-border rail services that connect ports in Africa to inland destinations.

Shifting from carrying cargo via congested roads across Africa to reliable transport via rail is a win-win scenario; enabling CEVA to serve its customers more efficiently, while drastically reducing CO2 emissions and helping this vital infrastructure to thrive.” – Emanuel Chacanza, Railway Director, Mozambique Port and Railway
