Transnet Port Terminals recorded a 15% improvement above the combined weekly target across all container terminals

on in Logistics

We are pleased to announce that Transnet Port Terminals has recorded 101,295 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) in a single week, representing a 15% improvement above our combined weekly target across all container terminals.

This achievement marks our return to performance levels last experienced during the 2017/2018 financial year, demonstrating the effectiveness of our comprehensive recovery plan implemented in 2024/25.

Key Performance Drivers:

  • Real-time performance reporting systems
  • Strategic equipment replacement program
  • Introduction of fourth shift operations
  • New incentive schemes aligned with operational excellence
  • Zero vessel backlogs and delays across all terminals

Our integrated approach spans the Durban Container Terminals (Pier 1 & 2), Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, and Ngqura facilities, collectively handling over 4 million containers annually.

Recent equipment acquisitions including straddle carriers, rubber-tyred gantry cranes, and reach stackers have significantly enhanced our operational capacity. With National Treasury support, we’ve accelerated our equipment acquisition timeline, with additional deployments scheduled for Cape Town and Durban before year-end.

As we progress through citrus mid-season toward the retail season beginning in October, TPT remains committed to strengthening customer partnerships and exploring new market opportunities to drive sustainable growth in South Africa’s logistics sector.
