Grindrod achieves 2Mt coal throughput at its Navitrade terminal
Logistics group Grindrod has reached throughput of two-million tonnes of coal at its Navitrade terminal, in Richards Bay, with the support and collaboration of State-owned Transnet Port Terminals (TPT).
The collective efforts of the TPT and Grindrod teams, as well as TPT’s strong quayside performance, have been instrumental in breaking previous records and positioning the terminal for continued success, Grindrod states.
Grindrod Terminals CEO Kwazi Mabaso says TPT played a crucial role in repairing the 2.2 km conveyor belt damaged in the October 2021 fires.
“This conveyor, which transports coal from the Navitrade terminal to the port, was successfully recommissioned in January this year, resulting in improved operational efficiency and reduction in the port congestion,” he points out.
Navitrade’s successful loading of its largest shipment of 87 243 t on the MV KMAX VISION in October, further underscores the dedication, collaboration and commitment of Grindrod's teams to achieving remarkable milestones and TPT’s strong quayside performance through this conveyor belt.
