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.
