We continue with much-improved operational environment in South Africa: no waiting time, low terminal, and yard density, plenty of depot capacity and an improving equipment position. Wind stoppages in Cape Town have been minimal and bodes well for our grape shippers for the rest of the season. As we enter the 2nd month of the year, increasing throughput will place more pressure on port and landside infrastructure. Our services remain on schedule and fully open for business.
Further afield, on a positive note, the political situation in Mozambique has eased – Beira and Maputo, however, still has high waiting time. Port Louis is recovering from the low productivity and the delays of Q4 last year and waiting time has reduced.
Cyclone conditions around Madagascar continue to bring heavy rains. We are monitoring the situation closely. Terminal and office fully open.
Finally, our Network of the Future is now live as of February 1st- the replacement for 2M. Gemini Cooperation | Network of the Future | Maersk
