Container parks for Coega

Up to three intermodal container depots are on the cards for the Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ), according to Gustav Meyer, Coega Development Corporation (CDC) automotive business manager. The pioneer was APM Terminals, which opened in the IDZ in September 2012. Meyer says the CDC is hoping to conclude negotiations with two international logistics companies that have committed to establishing intermodal container depots at Coega. “This will in essence mean three of the big five container terminal companies – inclusive of APM Terminals – will have operations at Coega.” Other logistics operators already in the zone are expanding. Plans for the expansion of UTi Sun Couriers and Digistics will commence this year.
