TransNamib and GE entered into a USD 22.7 million purchase agreement for the acquisition of 6 locomotives. According to the agreement, TransNamib shall purchase six C23EMP locomotives from GE with delivery expected within the next 18 to 20 months. The locomotives are an improved version of the current GE locos that have been in the service of TransNamib for the past 50 years.
The 6 locomotives will be deployed to transport sulphuric acid from Tsumeb to Arandis, following the 10-year Rail Transport Agreement signed earlier this year between TransNamib and Dundee Precious Metal Tsumeb.
