South Africa’s Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has appointed Grindrod South Africa as the preferred bidder to develop and operate a container handling facility at the Port of Richards Bay, in KwaZulu-Natal. The appointment is in line with TNPA’s strategy to increase the yearly container handling capacity at the port, which is known as South Africa’s main coal export terminal, from 50 000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) to 200 000 TEUs.
