Durban port resumes operations

14 Apr 2022

Transnet has begun a gradual resumption in operations at the minerals export hub of Durban port after flooding caused a 36-hour suspension, the Department of Public Enterprises said on Wednesday.

State-owned logistics company Transnet suspended shipping at the port on South Africa's eastern coast from 1930 local time on Monday, saying heavy rains had damaged roads into the port.

"Shipping, which was suspended as a result of extensive debris caused by the adverse weather, is expected to resume once safety has been established for marine craft and vessel navigation," the Department of Public Enterprises said, adding that terminals at Richards Bay are operating less efficiently.

At least 45 people have died as a consequence of heavy rains in the eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal.
