Staff capacity from 60% at the start of July because of positive Covid-19 cases and employees in quarantine, to 100% by month-end.
Transnet Port Terminals aimed to have the backlog of cargo cleared by mid-month after inclement weather delayed progress and shifted the original target to the end of July. “We need to be vigilant and put measures in place to mitigate the risk of reinfection and cross pollination. Social distancing must continue to be applied, including the use of the zoning method in mess and ablution facilities in the port,” she added.
The full marine fleet available includes two tugs and a third tug on standby, one work boat, one pilot boat and one launch. Berthing services, which were most affected by the virus spread among employees, were back to normal with two berthing gangs in place.
