DCT Pier 1 plays a central role in South Africa’s citrus export operations, serving as a key gateway for cargo moving from inland production regions to global markets.
With a Pier 1 design capacity of about 0.7 million TEUs annually as part of the broader Durban container hub, the terminal network is well equipped to support high volumes of cargo, including temperature-controlled exports.
In the 2025 citrus season, Durban container terminals recorded double-digit growth in citrus volumes handled, with approximately 28% year on year growth reported at the Durban container facilities, reflecting increased demand and improved operational performance across the export season.
