In the wake of ongoing disruptions at Transnet, which have significantly impacted South Africa's cargo transport systems, Freight News is launching a crucial survey to gauge the effects on the import and export sector.

Titled "Assessing the Impact of Transnet Disruptions on Importers and Exporters," this initiative seeks to compile first-hand accounts from businesses navigating these challenging times.

The disruptions at Transnet, affecting both port and rail operations, have thrown a spotlight on the vulnerabilities within our supply chains and the urgent need for resilient solutions.

The import and export community is the backbone of the economy, and its insights are invaluable in understanding the full scope of these challenges and advocating for meaningful improvements.

We invite all stakeholders within the import and export industry to participate in this survey.

Your experiences and strategies in dealing with the Transnet disruptions are crucial for painting a comprehensive picture of the current landscape.

This is an opportunity to voice your challenges, highlight the financial and operational impacts on your business, and suggest pathways forward.

The findings of this survey will foster a deeper understanding among industry players and will also guide our advocacy efforts for better support and infrastructure improvements.

By participating, you will be contributing to a collective effort to strengthen our industry's resilience and adaptability.

The survey is concise, designed to respect your valuable time, and ensures confidentiality.

The results will be published in the Freight News Export Trade feature.
