'Rail-based innovations will give SA the edge'

The development of a
sustainable and efficient
supply chain model in which
rail plays a central role is
key if South Africa truly
wants to take advantage of
the mineral boom on the
African continent at present.
According to Kriba
Naiken, director of Quattro
Logistics, the development
of innovative solutions like
the Skiptainer, a combination
of a skip and a container
that is easy to fill and empty,
easy to load and offload
and most importantly
transportable on a flatbed
rail wagon, will give the
country a leading edge.
