Ramaphosa visited the Port of Durban last week to assess the work being done to make the port more efficient and competitive.
In his weekly newsletter on Monday, Ramaphosa reflected on his trip.
“There has indeed been great progress over the past year in turning around the performance of the port, despite the impact of Covid-19.
“These efforts are already showing results in improved maintenance of equipment, reduced congestion, quicker turnaround times and increased use of rail instead of road transport,” he wrote.

LAST week, I visited the Port of Durban to see for myself the work being done to make the port more efficient and competitive.
After a briefing with the senior management of Transnet, I toured the harbour in a pilot boat, which is usually used to guide large ships through the entrance channel to the pier.
Seeing the workings of the port from the water, one is reminded of its vast scale and complexity. As we left the pier, we watched the African Finch, an enormous vessel laden with over 30 000 tonnes of timber, depart from the terminal. A vessel of this size carries immense economic value, and many such vessels pass through the port every day.
