Transnet's unilateral decision to reallocate 2 million tonnes of railing capacity from major manganese producers to emerging miners has set the scene for tough new contract negotiations with the industry - the outcome of which may determine whether certain investment plans live or die. "When you think about large investments you make in a mining company, it's always a concern when the rules change without consultation, or without time to prepare for what that change actually looks like," South32 CEO, Graham Kerr, said in an interview with News24.

Transnet last year resolved to double the railing capacity for emerging manganese miners to 4 million tonnes per annum. The extra tonnages will be taken from existing railing allocation being used by major miners, reducing their lot from 14 million tonnes to 12 million tonnes.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.
