Weekly Feeder Services

Our dedicated feeder vessel service operates weekly rotations between Durban, Port Elizabeth, and Cape Town. This reliable schedule ensures that goods are transferred efficiently between ports, reducing waiting times and providing a consistent flow of cargo to meet your supply chain needs. Feeder vessels are particularly useful when larger vessels need to offload quickly, allowing us to handle the coastal distribution.

Our terminal services are designed to facilitate fast and effective integration between different modes of transport. By managing the complete handover process from vessels to road and rail transport, we ensure that your cargo reaches its inland or final destination quickly and without disruption. Our deep experience with port operations means fewer delays, more reliable scheduling, and a focus on minimizing handling time.
