South Africa Terminal and Vessel Update 19th May 2020

Durban and Coega/Port Elizabeth continue to perform well with no delays of significance. 

Durban has a larger number of vessels expected towards the latter part of May, with higher move counts but minimal delays are predicted.

Cape Town container terminal suffered a second Covid-19 case resulting in stoppage time for deep cleaning. With reduced labor the terminal is now operating 16 hours per day until 20th May with current  berthing delays averaging 6.5 days.
