The shipping platform

Location: The Port of Ngqura, also known as Coega, is a deep water port situated at the mouth of the Coega River in Nelson Mandela Bay (Algoa Bay). General overview: The Port of Ngqura is being developed to become South Africa's largest port. The port has an entrance channel of 18m depth and 16m at the berths, capable of serving post-Panamax dry and liquid bulkers, and new generation container ships. The port serves as a transshipment center for Johannesburg via a new rail link and supports the Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ). The IDZ is a primary location for new industrial development for export-driven industries. The port has 32 berths identified in the ultimate, fully developed port and is the only port in South Africa with environmental authorization for its construction and operation. Additionally, it has a fixed jet pump sand bypass, which pumps sand from west to east, recreating the natural longshore drift of sand along the coast, making it the first of its kind in the world.
