Komatipoort Dry Port

Objective

The expansion of the Komatipoort dry port was planned to reduce the risk of shipments getting stuck in border congestion. The expansion was also intended to make the service more efficient and cost-competitive compared to traditional routing via Durban.

Description

DP World’s Komatipoort inland container depot is the first dry port in the region. The facility includes a highly secure Warehouse, Full & Empty container depot, oversize cargo storage area and Container examination facilities. The location of the depot is also close to a fully-fledged South African Customs and banking infrastructure, which will facilitate South African customs clearance of goods at Komatipoort.
