First ship set to transit the expanded Panama Canal

“No ship, other than a South African-owned ship, is permitted to engage in coastwise traffic for the conveyance of goods between ports in SA.”

More than 200 light aircraft, including helicopters and small twin-prop planes, are expected to fly in.

TNPA said it forms part of its masterplan for ports in KwaZulu-Natal.

This move is seen as a significant step in the industry’s push towards automation.

The city’s port and airport precinct have been targeted in the attacks over the past four days.

The outlook for container shipping was even more uncertain now than it was at the onset of the Covid virus.
