The Port Elizabeth Car Terminal marked a major milestone when it handled Vessel Höegh Aurora on its first call to Africa.

This advanced cargo-handling vessel, with a capacity of 9 100 vehicles, discharged 1 966 imported vehicles from the Bremerhaven and Santander ports in Germany and Spain, respectively.

“Welcoming Höegh Aurora is a proud moment for our terminal. It demonstrates our ability to manage high-volume shipments efficiently while showcasing our commitment to supporting South Africa’s automotive sector,” said Wandisa Vazi, Managing Executive for Transnet Port Terminals in the Eastern Cape region.
