The Mauritania''s rail modernisation project aims to double the capacity along the line and in addition, the project includes the installation of a photovoltaic solar power plant.
Mauritania''s National Industrial and Mining Company (SNIM) is set to receive a US$150 million loan from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to increase its rail logistics capacity and to strengthen the country''s mining sector.
The project will finance Mauritania''s first large-scale battery energy storage facility, enabling the country to harness its abundant solar and wind resources for more reliable electricity.
Mauritania''s iron ore trains are one of the most iconic symbols of the country''s rich mineral wealth and industrial backbone. Stretching up to 2.5 kilometers, these massive trains carry iron ore 700 kilometers from the mines at Zouérat to the coastal city of Nouadhibou.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has launched an evaluation for a €113 million loan to support a major railway expansion project in Mauritania. The initiative aims to enhance iron ore exports by improving the rail link between the mining town of Zouérat and the port city of Nouadhibou.
