East London container yard puts MSC ‘under one roof’

MSC has consolidated all its East
London operations in a container
handling facility in the East London
Industrial Development Zone (IDZ).
“We now have all our shipping,
logistics and depot management
operations under one roof,” says MSC
East London branch manager Barbara
Taylor.
The bonded container yard can
store up to 800 containers at a time,
and serves as a dry port for the port of
Ngqura.
It also provides storage for East
London companies, and has three
MSC Logistics drivers dedicated to
transporting loads within the Buffalo
City Metro, she says.
Another team of drivers ex MSC
Logistics, Port Elizabeth, carries the
containers between Ngqura and East
London on a daily basis.
All the handling equipment required
to move full and empty containers is
on site, with full boxes stacked up to
three high, and empties four high.
