Road and Rail

Durban Coal Terminal Company Pty Ltd T/A Bulk Connections has the largest private siding network in the Port of Durban. The Siding is connected directly to the main line and all incoming trains are brought directly from the mines into the exchange yard. All rail operations on site are managed with our own staff and locomotives. This has proved to be the most efficient manner of ensuring that the correct cargo is moved exactly when required. We are capable of handling block trains of up to 65 wagons at a time. Rail planning and meetings are planned for the upcoming week. This is entered into the Transnet Freight Rail’s “Next week’s Business”. Both these planning sessions allow us to carefully monitor the vessels, stockpiles, rail cargo and road cargo.

Our road intake facility is made up of incoming and outgoing weighbridges, with a w ell implemented process to minimize delays and avoid contamination of products.
