We have had some fiery words from Kevin Ross, director of Transport Shinaji International (TSI), about excessively long delays for trucks collecting boxes from the Durban container terminal (DCT). That was after reading the FTW article about delays at Durban, even well after the Transnet strike was over. “Your transport executive who told you he was facing average delays of three to five hours turnaround times must have been lucky. “We have trucks we have arranged for clients to move boxes from Durban to Gauteng that’ve been taking an average of 18 hours to get in and out of the DCT. “Your people who said the port was ‘still cloggedup’ should be using the words ‘dead-slow and stopped’ about transit times at the terminals.” And that was still the case, he told FTW, on Friday of last week (July 9).
Durban terminal still painfully slow
