The Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) says it is investigating congestion involving trucks outside Durban’s port. TNPA links the disruption to a combination of operational delays and technical problems, while also saying it is looking into how these issues are affecting port access and throughput.
TNPA also points to ageing infrastructure and equipment failures, which it says contribute to delays at the facility. In addition, the authority raises concerns about marine-service delays, indicating that problems are not limited to land-side logistics. The reporting frames the situation as an ongoing investigation into multiple causes rather than a single breakdown.
