Richards Bay port terminal operations halted over non-compliance

Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) says it is working to ease truck congestion after one of its Richards Bay terminal operators was ordered to halt operations.

A stop work certificate was issued to the terminal operator on Wednesday to cease all operations until environmental management issues identified at the terminal, and other facilities used by the operator, have been resolved.

“TNPA has urged transporters to halt the dispatching of trucks to the port until the terminal operator complies with the conditions of the stop certificate.

“The ports authority is working tirelessly to mitigate the impact on operations and port users,” said TNPA in a statement.
