To bring about much-needed relief on roads and move goods more efficiently to the ports, Transnet’s Cape Town Container Terminal has piloted an inland operation that will see the haulage of reefer containers from Belcon Inland Terminal, in Bellville, to the port.
The collaboration between Transnet’s two operating divisions – Port Terminals and Freight Rail – supports the State-owned entity’s strategy for a modal shift from road to rail, while effecting improvements in the entire supply chain.
