New shiploader awaits for permission at Richards Bay MPT

In order to step up its cargo handling capacity, the Multipurpose Terminal (MTP) operating at the port of Richards Bay in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province purchased and has already taken a delivery of a new shiploader. The machine offers handling as many as 3,000 t of cargo per hour given a density of 1,900 kg per cu m.
Agency sources say, however, that the permission to use the shiploader still has to be received.
