Power outage hits SA’s coal export terminal at Richard’s Bay

A power outage in South Africa’s main coal export terminal Richards Bay has forced state-owned logistics monopoly firm Transnet to delay offloading of trains for 10 hours, the company said on Friday.

“The outage meant that the Richards Bay Coal Terminal was unable to offload trains for approximately 10 hours, resulting in a 50% wagon capacity for Friday’s production plan,” the freight logistics group said.
