Expanded steri facility

The cold sterilising capacity

of the Port Elizabeth Cold

Storage (PECS) terminal at

Coega has been increased

in order to meet growing

demand for the pre-cooling

of apples and pears, as well

as requirements of markets

particularly in the East

for fruit to undergo a cold

sterilisation process.

It can now cold sterilise

1 200 pallets of citrus, apples

or pears at a time, according

to director Mark Jensen.
