South Africa’s Galison Manufacturing was awarded a contract on 21 May 2024, following international competitive tender, to supply 275 container wagons plus operational spares to the Lobito Atlantic Railway over a 30-month delivery period. The order forms part of LAR’s broader $455 million Angola investment commitment, which includes 35 locomotives and 1,555 wagons in total. By mid-January 2026, Galison had shipped its 200th wagon under the contract, with wagons already in service hauling sulphur into the DRC and copper out.
