Michiel van der Merwe
Michiel van der Merwe is the CEO of ArcelorMittal Liberia (AML), a subsidiary of the multinational steel manufacturing corporation ArcelorMittal. Under his leadership, the company has been embroiled in a dispute with the Government of Liberia over the railway infrastructure, as AML threatens legal action against the government for proposing a multiuser rail access agreement that would allow other companies, including Ivanhoe Atlantic, to utilize the Yekepa-Buchanan railway. Van der Merwe argues that this plan would violate existing agreements and undermine AML's investments and operational capacity.
