Sharing Transport (Roads, Ports, Railways)
At a Glance
-
Transport infrastructure may be shared among extractive projects or with other sectors beyond extractives.
-
For railways, roads, and pipelines, a “right of way” the transport infrastructure.
-
Best practice is for the government to retain ownership of the right of way even when the ownership of infrastructure assets. This ensures that other types of infrastructure can be installed and benefit from economies of scope.
