10 May 2017 / Richards Bay, South Africa
Transnet has advised that operations at Richards Bay Dry Bulk Terminal are returning to normal, following disruption by striking workers on Monday and Tuesday this week (8 & 9 May).
According to media reports, contract workers at Richards Bay went on the rampage yesterday (9 May), tearing up road installations and overturning a police vehicle. A Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) spokesperson said the workers who were employed by materials handling company at the TPT facility at the port had embarked on an illegal strike on Monday, apparently demanding permanent employment.
In its update today (10 May) Transnet states that the workers participating in an illegal strike are no longer within the port premises and operations are stable and ramping up to full productivity. All planned vessels are operating whilst rail activities are continuing on a limited scale.
