KZN floods: Movement of ships in Durban harbour limited by mass debris pile-up | kaveels

Despite the Port of Durban being fully operational following the devastating flooding in KwaZulu-Natal, washed up waste has affected vessel movements since Wednesday.

Nkowane on Friday said all Transnet Operating Divisions were carrying out assessments to establish the full extent of damage caused by the storm. Nkowane said the port’s pollution control teams were on site tackling the debris within port waters, aided by clean-up teams from SpillTech, Drizit and ZMK Enterprises.The debris included large logs that posed a threat to the safe navigation of the harbour craf which are used to guide vessels safely in and around the port, she added.

The death toll following the floods since the Easter weekend has jumped to 85, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube said on Thursday.
