State-owned Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) announced last week that it had achieved a new weekly throughput record of 335812 t of manganese, beating its previous record by 6362 t.

The record was achieved in Week 2 of the 2019/20 financial year, compared with the target of 290794 t for that week.

TFR’s previous weekly record of 329 450 t was set during Week 11 of the previous financial year.

Transnet’s share of export manganese has been growing from 9.6-million tonnes in 2016/17 to 13.8-million tonnes in 2017/18 and a record 14-million tonnes in 2018/19.

Last September

, TFR successfully tested a 375-wagon manganese train from Sishen to Saldanha for the expansion of manganese volumes railed between the mines in Hotazel, via Sishen, to the Port of Saldanha.

This manganese train is the longest production train in the world.
