# Transnet has announced the completion of a four-billion-rand investment in Africa’s largest iron ore export facility, the Saldanha iron ore terminal on the West Coast. The infrastructure expansion project includes the installation of a heavy-duty tippler used to empty rail wagons. Transnet Port Terminals’ CEO Jabu Mdaki says the installation of the new tippler achieved an estimated contribution of 45-percent in local content, and supported about one-thousand-500 jobs during peak construction activities.
