Conveyors in Richards Bay

Richards Bay is the country's main bulk export harbour, with the Port of Richards Bay handling coal, mineral sands products, aluminium, woodchips, fertiliser and grain. The Richards Bay Coal Terminal moves huge tonnages from rail to stockyards and onto ships, and industries around the port include an aluminium smelter, heavy-minerals processing and pulp and paper plants. Conveyors are everywhere, from stackers and reclaimers to ship loaders and transfer towers. Conditions are harsh: salt air, humidity, coal and fine mineral dust, and violent summer storms. Port and plant shutdowns drive demand for belting, rollers and lagging, and a well-developed base of contractors in Richards Bay and Empangeni supports them.
