CTG (Compagnie du Transguinéen)

Created in 2022, CTG brings multiple industry partners together with the Government of Guinea in a unique joint venture that will play a key role in transforming Guinea’s economy and driving sustainable economic growth.

CTG will own and operate the 670 kilometer rail corridor and port infrastructure constructed as part of the Simandou project, one of the world’s largest untapped resources of high-grade iron ore. In addition to the transport of iron ore from the Simandou mines to international markets, CTG’s infrastructure will also be used for passenger and general cargo services. This will help connect the full length of Guinea, including its existing agricultural areas, from Simandou in the South-East of the country to the port of Morébaya, close to Conakry, the capital of Guinea.

With its Head Office in Conakry and operations across the infrastructure footprint, CTG is expected to progressively grow its workforce in the months and years ahead with a firm focus on operational, environmental and Health & Safety excellence and close connectivity with the communities wherever it operates.

Ownership of CTG is split between development partners, Winning Consortium Simandou Infrastructure PTE LTD (WCS) (a joint venture between Winning Consortium and Baowu) and Simfer Infra Co (a joint venture ultimately comprising Rio Tinto and Chalco Iron Ore Holdings), each at 42.5% equity share, with the Government of the Republic of Guinea taking a 15% free carry equity stake.
