Performance and rail network updates

• The Business Research Company, September 7, 2019 -- According to the global rail industry outlook,

the rail freight market is expected to reach a value of nearly $159.06 billion by 2022, significantly growing

at a CAGR of 14.6% during the forecast period. The growth in the rail freight market is due to developing

infrastructure and adoption of advanced technologies.

• African Market is booming and the next 5-10 years will be transformative Start to see automation anticipatory logistics or supply chain using AI to look for patterns in the

supply chain where delays normally happen, an autonomous supply chain using AI will anticipate waste and inefficiencies.

• Malcolm McLean created the container. Blockchain, as a transformative technology, is the next step

beyond the container by being secure, encrypted, and a trusted global platform with visibility.

Final thoughts….

Thank you !
