Congestion continues at South African port

4/7/2007 9:17:02 AM

Port operator SA Port Operations claims that delays for ships waiting to dock at South Africa’s Durban container terminal will be back to normal by this weekend, but shipping lines consider this to be overly optimistic.   The delays were caused by the closure of the port following severe weather early last week.   The normal target is that delays to berth at the Durban container terminal should not exceed 16 hours. Yesterday there were 10 vessels waiting to berth with average delays of between 11 and 14 hours.    Cargo News Asia
