About Durban Port
Durban Port is Sub-Saharan Africa's busiest container terminal, handling more than 2.7 million TEUs per year. Operated by Transnet Port Terminals, it serves as the primary gateway for South African imports and exports and the wider southern African hinterland.
The port faces recurring congestion challenges, particularly at the Pier 2 container terminal. Importers should factor in 3–7 days additional dwell time during peak periods and strikes. The Durban–Johannesburg N3 corridor carries approximately 60% of SA's import cargo by road.
