Strategy will enhance growth

"The East London terminal is at the cusp of a new chapter in its history," Nyawose says. "The exciting economic developments within the province, coupled with Transnet's market demand strategy, will present the East London terminal with invaluable volume growth and diversification opportunities. I believe the dedication, experience and know-how of the team will put the terminal on a path for greater success."
