- Port Elizabeth and Ngqura ports rank 395th and 402nd out of 405 in the World Bank’s Container Port Performance Index.
- Ngqura port’s performance rose over 160 points due to focused investments and operational reforms despite global port declines.
- Transnet’s recovery plan led to a 79% drop in vessels at anchorage and boosted crane and ship working moves per hour.
- Improved cooperation with road hauliers is critical for enhancing the ports' competitiveness on the continent and globally.
It is important to acknowledge that there have generally been improvements in terms of logistics efficiencies at the country’s ports, including the Ports of Port Elizabeth and Ngqura, over the past few months.— Denise van Huyssteen, CEO of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber, made this statement at a public meeting.
