17 Jul 2020 / Ngqura, South Africa
One of the vessels calling at the port lost containers overboard due to adverse weather conditions. In the interest of ensuring the safety of navigation of vessels within port limits, a decision was taken to close the port for any further shipping movements.
To mitigate the risk of ongoing business disruption, the port has activated its Business Continuity Plans with the view to restoring operations as soon as possible. An aerial survey was undertaken today to locate the lost containers. Further scanning of the entrance channel and anchorage areas will be undertaken over the next three days to ensure that all is safe for shipping. Until this is completed, all shipping movements in and around the port have been suspended until further notice.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will inform you as soon as port operations resume. We will keep all our valued customers updated with any latest developments.
