South Africa's RBCT resumes part operation of derailing lines

Recently, South Africa's national freighter forwarder Transnet announced that the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) has partly resumed operation of the previously derailing lines and the terminal now runs at a 50% capacity.

On June 18 local time, a derailing accident happened to a 200-carriage coal-loaded train which was running on the lines connecting Ermelo and RBCT; as a result, the transportation stopped.

It was reported that one of the lines already resumed operation in the wee hours of June 22 local time. This accident led to a sharply decreasing coal input of 590,000t at the terminal over the past week, far below the 860,000t per week previously.
