Owned, Financed and Managed
by Banco Bilderberg
Banco Bilderberg’s B line railway project will be headquartered in the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, an emerging business and investment hub located in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial coast of Central Africa.
São Tomé and Príncipe is destined to become the financial hub of Africa servicing the rest of the continent with the establishment of Banco Bilderberg in the country. The country has the potential to exponentially grow with the precise investment and economic contribution brought by Banco Bilderberg.
Welcome to the B Line Railway Corridor Project
“Connecting Africa’s Heartland: The B Line Railway Corridor spans 5,900 kilometers, enhancing trade and economic growth across seven key countries.”
- The B Line Railway Corridor emerges as an economical, long-term solution and contingency plan for vessel operators and stakeholders in the maritime industry by providing a reliable alternative to disrupted sea routes.
- The B Line Railway Corridor will offer cost-effective and efficient transportation options for cargo movement between key ports. Reducing transit time by 18 days compared to alternative routes such as the Cape Route. Leveraging the railway corridor as a complementary mode of transportation.
- The B Line Railway Corridor will serve as a strategic infrastructure investment that will enhance resilience against geopolitical uncertainties. Reinforcing the importance of diversified transportation networks in sustaining global commerce.
- The B Line Railway Corridor initiative mitigates risks associated with maritime disruptions. Representing a proactive approach to managing challenges in the maritime sector.
- The B Line Railway Corridor will offer greater flexibility and stability for global trade operations Ensures continuity in maritime supply chains.
The rerouting of ships, circumventing the conflicted Suez Canal and opting for the longer journey around southern Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, introduces an additional 6,000 nautical miles to the typical route from Asia to Europe. This extended route has the potential to lengthen product delivery times by three or four weeks, further emphasizing the considerable impact of the disruptions on the efficiency of the container shipping industry. That is why “The B Line Corridor” is a significant and strategic investment.

CURRENT RAILWAYS
The current African railway infrastructure varies widely, ranging from colonial-era lines (1067mm) to modernized systems and newly constructed railways (Standard Railway 1435mm).
WHAT IS POSSIBLE
The African Union has endorsed a 50-year plan to realize the vision of the African Integrated High Speed Railway Network. This ambitious initiative aims to enhance regional integration, boost trade and economic development, and improve mobility and accessibility across Africa.
