Transnet Freight Rail's rail link into the Port of Port Elizabeth has been heavily damaged by rough sea conditions that caused a wash-away of the track formation on September 16.
TFR is exploring other contingencies, including using the Port Elizabeth station as a bypass into and out of the port, although such a method will result in a reduced operation. The adverse sea conditions have also not yet fully subsided, it said in a September 18 update to market. A recovery team has been dispatched to begin repair work and to clear the debris in inaccessible areas.
