About fifty journalists and content creators visited the Morébaya port and the rail corridor of the Simandou mining project on 9 November 2026. Organised by the TransGuinean Company, the visit presented the transport of iron ore, according to Visionguinee.

About fifty journalists and content creators visited the Morébaya port and the rail corridor of the Simandou project in Guinea on Monday 9 November 2026. The visit was organised by the TransGuinean Company (CTG). On the programme were a visit to the presidential train, a 35-seat area, and then a journey of about fifty minutes by train to Moussaya station.

The CTG is a public-private partnership company, 15% owned by the Guinean state and 42.5% each by the international partners BWCS and Simfer. The corridor is intended to link Guinea’s southern mining deposits to international markets.

Beyond transporting iron ore, the CTG says it wants to contribute to industrial development, economic diversification and the training of local skills.
