Southern Africa Terminal and Service Update Week 07

12 二月 2025

India Middle East and Africa South Africa

We continue with much-improved operational environment in South Africa: limited waiting time, (some wind stoppages in Cape Town this week), low terminal, and yard density, plenty of depot capacity and equipment. Our services remain on schedule and fully open for business.

Further afield, the political situation in Mozambique has eased and waiting time into Beira is falling. Port Louis’s productivity has recovered and waiting time has eased.

We closely monitor the cyclone conditions around Madagascar and the Islands. Terminals and offices are fully open.

The Network of the Future is live as of February 1st- the replacement for 2M. Gemini Cooperation | Network of the Future | Maersk
