Freight bodies call for unified Durban port recovery plan

# South African Freight and Logistics Association and the Road Freight Association are calling for a unified recovery plan to restore predictable cargo flows through the Durban Gateway Terminal. The industry bodies say weekly system processes fell 26-percent following the mid-August NAVIS N4 system change, while vessel and truck delays increased. The organisations want a public 30-day recovery plan, improved equipment and system reliability. The also seek coordinated truck access and fair relief from storage and demurrage costs caused by delays beyond cargo owners’ control.
