Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has announced that it is just 30 days away from concluding the validation process for its Eastern Region Ports Master Plans, which will position the Port of Durban as a major container hub and Richards Bay as the port handling dry bulk.
The plan includes massive port expansion and the relocation of the SA National Defence Force naval base from Salisbury Island to Richards Bay, as well as increased container capacity of 11.4 million TEUs and boosted automotive capacity exceeding 900 000 units per annum at Durban port.
