Transnet and freight association push back on report that SA ports are the world's worst

A report by the World Bank and rating agency S&P's that ranked four South African ports as among the worst in the world for efficiency and competitiveness is flawed and contains inaccuracies.

This is according to operator Transnet Port Terminals and business grouping the South African Association of Freight Forwarders , who believe the report was limited in its focus and missed a large number of boats. The Container Port Performance Index released last week saw Cape Town, Nqura, Port Elizabeth, and Durban fall into the bottom 20 of global port rankings for performance. Cape Town was also placed last in the list of 405 ports, becoming the least efficient port in the world, according to the index. South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future. News24 has kept the country informed for 25 years, and we're about to enter a new chapter of fearless journalism.
