Durban terminal still painfully slow

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).
