South Africa Terminal and Vessel Update 15th May 2020

EUA Advisory

Durban and Coega/Port Elizabeth are performing well at present, with no significant delays. Durban Terminal does have a larger number of scheduled vessel calls towards the latter part of May with higher move counts, which could result in potential delays.

Cape Town again suffered a shortage of resources in the morning shift reducing the terminal to a single berth / 2 gang operation. Delays are starting to increase within May, averaging 6.1 days so far. 
 

As at 14th May

Cape Town Container Terminal              - 3 berths / 4 gangs [variable 1-2 berths working]
Cape Town Multipurpose Terminal        - 1 berth / 2 gangs 
Coega Container Terminal                     - 2 berths / 4-5 gangs
Port Elizabeth Container Terminal         - 1 berth / 3 gangs 
Durban Pier 1 Terminal                           - 2 berth / 4-5 gangs
Durban Pier 2 Terminal                          - 4 berths / 10 gangs
Durban Multipurpose Terminal              - 1 berths / 2 gangs
