Operations begin at Rio Tinto's Simandou port project in Guinea

The project is being co-developed by the Government of the Republic of Guinea, SimFer and WCS.

Once commissioned, all co-developed infrastructure and rolling stock will be transferred to and operated by the Compagnie du TransGuinéen, in which Simfer and WCS each hold a 42.5 per cent equity stake, with the Government of Guinea holding the remaining 15 per cent.
