The ports of Durban and Ngqura are among the most improved ports globally, according to the World Bank's latest Container Port Performance Index CPPI. Port Elizabeth is also listed as one of the five most improved ports in the world over a five-year period.
The Port of Durban secured the top position globally for the most significant year-on-year turnaround, recording a substantial improvement in its index performance. This recovery reduced vessel waiting times at anchorage from a peak of 20 vessels to zero.
'Concurrently, productive time spent at the berth increased significantly, with the share of time vessels spent at berth increasing to 76,' the report noted.
