28FEB2019 - NEWS - Transnet National Ports Authority gives assurance that berth repair works will not affect bunkering operations in the Port Elizabeth

Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has recently given its full assurance that contingency plans are in place to avoid disruptions to fuel supplies during a scheduled five-week shutdown of the tanker berth in the Port Elizabeth harbour from Monday, 18 February until Monday, 25 March. The berth outage will enable repairs to be carried out on the corroded steel structures supporting the berth’s access walkway. During the repair period, fuel trucks will be redirected to the Port of East London’s Liquid Bulk Terminals, where TNPA says there is sufficient capacity to manage the temporary diversion. The tank farm landside operations of supplying local fuel outlets will still continue during the berth outage. No negative impact is anticipated for the port’s other operations, including bunkering, marine operations, the fishing industry, among others.
