Industry Update

With the citrus season slowly coming to its end and the World Cup Rugby in full swing, the industry starts planning for the new grape season around the corner. Concerns over Cape Town port operations during the grape season has resulted in alternative solutions being reviewed and sourced. Both shipments ex alternative ports (Port Elizabeth, Durban and even Walvis Bay) as well as more conventional solutions for Europe are being looked into. That being said, TNPA and Western Cape Exporters/Importers are trying to find a solution for the long term. TNPA is currently in the process of securing more hydraulic tension mooring units to assist with excessive surge motions.

Last of the Europe citrus is being packed and inspected (https://www.freshplaza.com/africa/article/9558182/south-african-citrus-industry-closes-2023-eu-exports/) in order to target Duty Deadline. GoReefers will be sending out regular updates on ETA, given delays in South African ports. Alternatively, you can make use of Active Shipments Report on www.root2go.group for up to date information as well.
