CHC opens new eco-friendly warehouse

CHC Resources is going green. The company has just completed a major renovation at its Prospecton premises in Durban where a second, more environmentally friendly warehouse has been erected. According to logistics manager Sayed Mohamad, the new 6000-sqm warehouse, which represents an investment of R20 million, has now been completed. “It has been designed in such a way that it now only utilises natural light, while the ventilation system is also eco-friendly.” CHC Resources last year embarked on a major growth strategy that saw major investments across the country, with Durban the major beneficiary. “Our growth strategy has always been based on Durban functioning well and being able to address the needs of our operations in the rest of the country,” said Mohamad. The new warehouse is capable of handling 60-100 containers per day. “With the new warehouse we are not just increasing our capacity – we are doing it in a sustainable manner. Being environmentally friendly is part and parcel of our strategy.” He said through the extensions and upgrades in Durban the company could now assist more third party customers and handle more customs and border police stopped containers.
