This comes after flooding in April claimed more than 450 lives in areas around KwaZulu Natal. Access points to the Durban harbour and terminals were closed off due to flood damage, and before this past weekend's flooding in Bayhead Road, through which trucks access the port, was still damaged. "The technical team has worked tirelessly and handed back additional equipment to operations. The traffic has been cleared," the memo said.The advisory said the dispatching of trucks to the terminal could resume after the technical team's interventions. It said six out of ten vessels at the terminal had all blocks released by Sunday, and progress would be made with the remaining four.
