The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) has signed a R1.2-million deal that will see heavy transport and lifting services company ALE Heavylift South Africa become the first tenant to operate from and make use of the Coega industrial development zone’s (IDZ’s) newly established R9-million cargo laydown area.

The 12 ha abnormal cargo storage site, located on the boundary between the Port of Ngqura and the Coega IDZ, would be used as a temporary storage site for wind turbines destined for the Amakhala wind farm project, near Bedford, in the Eastern Cape.

Offloading of Wind Turbines

“Between April and November this year, nine vessels will offload 56 wind turbines which will then be transported to the Amakhala project. The first vessel docked at the Port of Ngqura on April 22 and the wind turbine components have already been stored at the laydown area.

“ALE Heavylift South Africa will occupy 2 ha of land and will have an option to expand the land area by an additional 1.4 ha at the peak of the project,” CDC trade solutions project manager Linda Sityoshwana said in a statement.

She added that the signing of the agreement confirmed the Port of Ngqura and the Coega IDZ as “ideal corridors” for the transport of abnormal cargo.
