Business is being encouraged to grasp the opportunities created by the hub status of the port of Ngqura and its integration into the Coega Industrial Development Zone. The hub provides ready access to African markets in particular, believes Siya Mhlaluka, Terminal Executive Manager Eastern Cape Terminals. Logistics companies and traders are starting to realise the opportunities, he says. Another is for value-added assembly and manufacturing. Regular calls on the port from destinations around the world mean that it is well positioned for companies wanting to source components or raw materials from different places, to add value, and to then export the finished product.
