Conveyors in Durban

Durban is home to the busiest container port in Southern Africa, along with bulk terminals for grain, fertiliser, sugar, minerals and chemicals on the Bluff and the Point. The South Durban Basin and the wider metro hold refineries, chemical plants, food manufacturers, paper and packaging businesses, and large distribution centres in places like Jacobs and Prospecton. Warm, humid air and coastal salt corrode steel frames, idler shells and fasteners, so coatings, sealed bearings and stainless components are important. Summer downpours add to wet-belt problems. Durban has the country's deepest coastal supplier base outside Cape Town, with belting stockists, splicing crews and marine and industrial engineering workshops.
