Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) has said it is looking at interventions to alleviate the current backlog of trucks accessing Pier 2 at Durban Container Terminal (DCT) where a buildup of harbour carrier traffic and related industry frustration have led operators to vent their anger at the logistics utility.
According to the state-owned entity (SOE), one of the interventions includes the allocation of five areas for additional container stacking, which could eliminate the need for a truck slot booking system, the principal source of much resentment and recrimination among transporters.
