rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. The project is set to revamp over 1k km of rail lines \u2014 connecting the northern and southern parts of the country, supporting the replacement of the aging fleet and rolling stock, refurbishing maintenance facilities, and raising capital for ports and logistics hubs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The end goal(s): <\/strong>The IREM project aims to boost the rail line\u2019s containerized and bulk cargo capacity to reach 6.3 mn tons of freight domestically and 1.1 mn tons of trade commodities by 2037, targeting a passenger capacity of about 2.9 mn.
