DCT
The impact of the three week closure is now clear as stack occupancy reaches critical levels. When yard space begins to exceed optimum levels overall performance suffers on both water and land side. With occupancy at 86% at 06.00 on the 7th of June difficulties in performing up to target levels are being experienced.
Volumes across quay have returned to previous levels but are short of target whilst moves per hour have materially declined from the levels experienced on the first days of the return to work.
Both Terminals suffered +- 4 hour electrical outages overnight 6/7th of June. Truckers advise that DCT road traffic is moving satisfactorily however congestion at Pier 1 is being experienced.

SITUATION AT GROBLERS BRIDGE
SAAFF have been advised by Customs Head Office that a recent communication regarding clearances and transit traffic through the Groblers Bridge / Martins Drift Border post is incorrect and a correction will be issued shortly.
The situation is that the post is a SACU only post and is therefore not able to accept submission of international entries. As a result Export and Removal in Transit entries must be processed at an office designated to handle such clearances prior to arrival at the Border. Effectively transit and export cargo arriving at the post must have been pre-cleared.
