AMG Holdings has launched construction on a 2.5-kilometer railway connecting its Sheger Industrial Park to the Ethio-Djibouti Railway’s Endode Station. The Ethiopian-led project comprises 1.7 Kms of main track and 800 meters of side rail. Chief Project Manager Engineer Nigist Hailu said the line is expected to be completed within six months, facilitating the transport of raw materials and finished goods to Djibouti’s port. More than 100 local workers have already joined the project, with additional recruitment planned as construction progresses. Engineer Daniel Hailemikael of Ethio-Djibouti Railway highlighted that the new link can accommodate trains with up to 53 wagons, enabling direct loading and unloading at the industrial park. Fully financed by AMG Holdings, the initiative is projected to cut the company’s annual logistics costs by up to 1.8 billion Br. Acknowledging the challenging terrain, Daniel affirmed the team’s commitment to timely completion. He also urged increased local investment in rail material production to reduce import reliance and support the expansion of the country's railway network.
