Megafreight moves into Durban's main logistics hub

The logistics company, Megafreight, has acquired new premises in Durban, housing all its clearing and forwarding operations in the same administration building, supported by a three-yearold, 10 000-square-metre warehouse. The hunt for a suitable site, according to branch manager, Paul Munn, has taken a lot of searching over the last three years but the final choice has proved a strategic winner. “We now have our combined operations/ warehousing centre in the industrial suburb of Mobeni,” he told FTW, “which the eThekwini Municipality, in consultation with the freight industry, has decided to develop as the city’s main logistics hub. “It is strategically situated half-way between the old port and the new dig-out port on the old Durban International Airport site. And it gives us convenient access to both of these, and to the freeway network heading north, south, east and west of the city.” The extensive warehouse has 12 container bays, and can handle three superlinks vehicle rigs simultaneously. “We are also applying for a bond store licence,” said Munn.
