Kwiinyanga zakutshanje, uxinzelelo olukhulayo kuLwandle oluBomvu lukhokelele iinkampani ezininzi zenqanawa zamazwe ngamazwe ukuba zilungise iindlela zazo, zikhethe ukuyeka indlela yoLwandle oluBomvu enobungozi ngakumbi endaweni yoko zikhethe ukuhambahamba zijikeleze iCape of Good Hope kwincam esemazantsi-ntshona yelizwekazi laseAfrika. Olu tshintsho ngokungathandabuzekiyo lithuba leshishini elingalindelekanga eMzantsi Afrika, ilizwe elibalulekileyo kwindlela yaseAfrika.
Nangona kunjalo, njengokuba ithuba ngalinye liza nomngeni, uMzantsi Afrika ujongene nemingeni engazange ibonwe ngaphambili njengoko ulwamkela eli thuba. Ngenxa yokwanda okukhulu kwenani leenqanawa, iingxaki zomthamo ezikhoyo kwizibuko ezikumgaqo waseMzantsi Afrika ziye zaba zimbi ngakumbi. Ukungabikho kwezixhobo kunye namanqanaba enkonzo kwenza izibuko zaseMzantsi Afrika zingakwazi ukumelana nenani elikhulu leenqanawa, kwaye umthamo awonelanga kakhulu kwaye ukusebenza kakuhle kuncitshisiwe kakhulu.
Nangona kukho uphuculo kwindlela ezisetyenziswa ngayo iikhonteyina kwisango eliphambili laseMzantsi Afrika, izinto ezimbi ezifana nokusilela kweekhreyini kunye nemozulu embi zisenegalelo ekulibazisekeni kwizibuko zaseMzantsi Afrika. Ezi ngxaki azichaphazeli nje kuphela ukusebenza okuqhelekileyo kwezibuko zaseMzantsi Afrika, kodwa zikwazisa ingxaki enkulu kumashishini eenqanawa zamazwe ngamazwe akhetha ukujikeleza iCape of Good Hope.
UMaersk ukhuphe isilumkiso esichaza ukulibaziseka kwamva nje kumazibuko ahlukeneyo eMzantsi Afrika kunye nothotho lwamanyathelo athathwayo ukunciphisa ukulibaziseka kweenkonzo.
Ngokwesi sibhengezo, ixesha lokulinda eDurban Pier 1 liye laba mandundu ukusuka kwiintsuku ezi-2-3 ukuya kwiintsuku ezi-5. Okwenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi kukuba, iDCT Terminal 2 yaseDurban ayivelisi kakhulu kunokuba bekulindelwe, iinqanawa zilinde iintsuku ezingama-22-28. Ukongeza, iMaersk ikwalumkisile ukuba izibuko laseKapa nalo lichaphazeleke yilahleko encinci, izitishi zalo ngenxa yemimoya enamandla, kukho ukulibaziseka okuya kuthi ga kwiintsuku ezintlanu.
Njengoko ijongene nale meko inzima, iMaersk ithembise abathengi ukuba iza kunciphisa ukulibaziseka ngohlengahlengiso lwenethiwekhi yenkonzo kunye namanyathelo angxamisekileyo. Oku kuquka ukuphucula iindlela zokuthutha imithwalo, ukulungisa izicwangciso zokuthumela impahla kwamanye amazwe, kunye nokuphucula isantya seenqanawa. UMaersk uthe iinqanawa ezisuka eMzantsi Afrika ziza kuhamba ngesantya esiphezulu ukuze zibuyisele ixesha elilahlekileyo ngenxa yokulibaziseka kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba imithwalo ifikelela kwiindawo eziya kuzo ngexesha.
Ngenxa yokwanda okukhulu kwemfuno yokuthunyelwa kwempahla, amazibuko aseMzantsi Afrika ajongene nokuxinana okungazange kubonwe ngaphambili. Kwasekuqaleni kukaNovemba, ingxaki yokuxinana kwamazibuko aseMzantsi Afrika yayibonakala, kunye namaxesha okulinda amangalisayo ukuba iinqanawa zingene kumazibuko amakhulu: umyinge weeyure ezingama-32 ukungena ePort Elizabeth eMpuma Koloni, ngelixa amazibuko aseNkula naseDurban athathe iiyure ezingama-215 kunye nama-227 ngokulandelelana. Le meko ibangele ukuba kubekho ukusilela kweekhonteyina ezingaphezu kwe-100,000 ngaphandle kwamazibuko aseMzantsi Afrika, nto leyo ebeka uxinzelelo olukhulu kushishino lokuthunyelwa kwempahla lwamazwe ngamazwe.
Ingxaki yezothutho eMzantsi Afrika ibikhula kangangeminyaka, ikakhulu ngenxa yokunqongophala kotyalo-mali lukarhulumente kwiziseko zophuhliso lweenkonzo. Oku kushiya iinkqubo zezibuko, oololiwe kunye neendlela zaseMzantsi Afrika zisengozini yokuphazamiseka kwaye zingakwazi ukumelana nokunyuka ngequbuliso kwemfuno yokuthunyelwa kwempahla.
Amanani akutshanje abonisa ukuba kwiveki ephela nge-15 kaMatshi, iSouth African Freight Forwarders Association (SAAFF) ibike ukwanda okukhulu kwinani leekhonteyina eziphathwa lizibuko ngokomndilili ukuya kwi-8,838 ngosuku, ukunyuka okukhulu ukusuka kwi-7,755 kwiveki ephelileyo. Umphathi wezibuko karhulumente iTransnet ukwabike kumanani ayo kaFebruwari ukuba ukuphathwa kweekhonteyina kunyuke ngama-23 ekhulwini ukusuka ngoJanuwari kwaye kunyuke ngama-26 ekhulwini ngonyaka.
