No ‘structural change’ in Ford routing

In FTW’s article headed
“Chinese keep auto
industry wheels turning in
Port Elizabeth” (FTW July
18, 2014) it was reported
that Ford had moved its
component exports bound
for Silverton from Port
Elizabeth to Durban.
Dave Everett, Safmarine
global key account owner
of the Ford account,
told FTW: “Based on
Safmarine’s clarification
with Ford Motor Company
of South Africa (FMCSA),
they confirm there has
been no structural change
in the routing of any Ford
import volumes from either
port of Port Elizabeth or
Ngqura (Coega), Eastern
Cape to Durban, KwaZulu-
Natal in 2014.”
