Urgent intervention required at Cape Town port, says Maynier

The efficient and effective performance of the Port of Cape Town is critical to economic recovery and growth for the Western Cape, the province’s Finance and Economic Opportunities Minister David Maynier has said. In a statement on June 29, he said the provincial ministry was “very concerned about the operational issues currently being experienced at the Port of Cape Town”, especially with the announcement that three shipping lines are cancelling calls to Cape Town or implementing a Cape Town congestion surcharge from July, and that large volumes of citrus exports are being redirected to Eastern Cape ports to ensure to continuity in supply to markets.
