Rusal to set bauxite shipments resumption terms after the completion of probe into train collision
Russian aluminium giant Rusal will reportedly spell out terms for the restart of bauxite shipments in Guinea after the completion of the probe into a collision of two freight trains and the restoration of railroad tracks. The news came after a spokesperson reported this to TASS.
The official said the probe has already been started, with company’s representatives providing necessary assistance to the relevant agencies in Guinea.
According to TASS report, the official said: "At present a probe has been launched into the incident, the company’s representatives are providing all necessary assistance to the relevant agencies in Guinea. The terms of resumption of shipments can be defined after the probe into the train collision is completed and the railroad tracks are restored."
On Monday, September 20, two freight trains operated by Rusal collided in Guinea, resulting in 1 dead and 5 injured. No Russian citizens were, however, hurt in the accident, said an official with the Russian embassy in Guinea.
In 2020, Rusal churned out 7,435 million tonnes of bauxite at its fields in Guinea, accounting for 50 per cent of the company’s total bauxite output. Worldwide, the aluminium industry relies on 20 per cent of Guinea’s bauxite supplies.
