Rail
Standard-gauge and regional rail linking ports to inland markets.
Roads
The trunk roads that carry most regional freight today.
Lake transport

Ports et logistique
Gateways to global markets
Ports on the Indian Ocean and on the Great Lakes connect the region to trade — and depend on the inland corridors, border posts and logistics operators behind them.
