Reload Logistics, a leading provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions in Africa, has recently begun operating a 50 000-square-metre Sulphur Bulk Terminal in Richards Bay, and now performs record-setting discharging at this strategic location.
Reload’s facility has an indoor storage of 20 000sqm, a loading area of 10 000sqm, and has operations for simultaneous offloading, bagging and loading for both rail and trucks of containerised or break-bulk cargo. The latest in a series of moves, this is a strategic asset for Reload Logistics – empowering the company to deliver reliable and efficient services for the handling, storage and distribution of sulphur and other dry bulk commodities to clients.
Since taking over the facility in November 2023, Reload Logistics has made significant upgrades to the complex, equipment and related systems, enhancing the discharge rate of sulphur vessels and increasing the holding capacity of the undercover warehousing.
These enhancements have already made an impact, with Reload Logistics achieving the record for tonnage unloaded from a vessel in a 24-hour period. Now operating the facility under the name Reload Dry Bulk Richards Bay Facility, this asset joins Reload Logistics’ extensive portfolio, covering all of sub-Saharan Africa, and has the capacity to move 200 000MT per month to and from seven ports and provides clients with true multimodal solutions.
“This investment and upgrade underscores our commitment to providing the best logistics solutions for our clients and the industry. We take pride in our team and the remarkable results they have achieved thus far,” states Michael-John Saunders, managing director of Reload Logistics.
