Our aim is straightforward: dependable rail transport that helps businesses move goods efficiently between the coast and inland markets. We welcome enquiries from producers, importers, exporters, traders and logistics companies planning future shipments.

01How it moves

How rail freight will move

  1. 01

    Port Sudan

    Goods arrive at or leave through Sudan's principal Red Sea port.

  2. 02

    Rail along the corridor

    Trains carry substantial loads between the coast and inland markets.

  3. 03

    Onward delivery

    Road hauliers, forwarders and warehouses connect the railway to customers.

Freight at this stage

Freight services in development

Our planning includes agricultural products, grain, construction materials, containers and other goods suited to rail. We are also interested in discussing specialist cargo requirements with prospective customers.

Service information will include loading and unloading locations, schedules, rates, handling arrangements and booking procedures. These details will be published as the freight offer is finalized.

Existing shipments

Until the operating transition is complete, please direct all enquiries about existing shipments and contracts to Sudan Railways Corporation. Sudan Rail Group’s future freight services will be announced separately.

Tell us what your business needs

Early discussions will help us shape services around the needs of businesses using the corridor. Whether you are planning a regular flow of goods or exploring rail for the first time, our commercial team would like to hear from you.

Please include your cargo type, origin and destination, approximate volume, shipment frequency and preferred starting period.

Working with the wider logistics sector

Rail freight works best as part of a connected transport system. We welcome discussions with road hauliers, freight forwarders, warehouse operators and port-related businesses about collection, delivery and other supporting services.
