PHPA does it again – setting new record for over a million tonnes on a tide

The new record of 1,059,740 tonnes was set on Tuesday 15 January 2013 and beat the previous record set in June 2012 by more than 19,000 tonnes. It was also the first time six cape-sized vessels sailed on a single tide to achieve the milestone. Deputy Harbour Master Leon Strydom said the new record could not have been achieved without the precise execution by the whole operations team.

“This achievement is yet another milestone in the port and is certain to repeat itself through the determination of all port users, to promote our vision to be the world’s leading port, helping to create a sustainable region,” he said.
