November 28, 2019: Bollore Logistics Zimbabwe has supported a $1.48 billion Hwange thermal power expansion project in North West Zimbabwe for TOPOWER, a subsidiary of Sinohydro, a hydropower engineering and construction company.
The company is undertaking the expansion project in conjunction with Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) with the aim of reducing electricity imports and save foreign currency.
The project will see an increase in power generation from the current 600 MW to double the size capacity 1,200MW and is estimated for completion in 2022.
“We are all very proud of the synergies and team effort that went into securing this contract,” commented Fergus Fitch, Durban branch director for Bolloré Logistics.
“Over the next three years, Durban will look to handle 180,000 cbm of breakbulk cargo.”
Through combined efforts and collaboration with Bolloré Logistics in China, the Bolloré Logistics offices in South Africa and Zimbabwe have secured the African inland trucking and customs clearance work.
