South Africa Terminal and Vessel Update – 22nd April 2020

TPT Terminal operations continue to work well with the below structure. At present both main terminals in Durban and Cape Town appear to have reduced average berthing delays now down to 3-4 days, with some vessels earlier.

Durban Pier 2 terminal moved to a 4-berth operation with effect from 21st April, but initially with similar numbers of gangs. Berth times of all vessels appear to be reducing due to lower numbers of moves for exports at this stage. This is impacting positively on reducing waiting times, although recent allowance of empty evacuation may increase move counts. We will continue to monitor this closely. Pier 1 in Durban is likely to return to a 2-berth operation with effect from 2nd May but can be dependent on post lock-down.

Note – SA terminals will be closed from 0600hrs 01st May to 0600hrs 02nd May for workers day. 

Note - There can be variables to gang use below dependent on specific vessel stowage.
