South Africa: Saldanha, Richards Bay volumes rise m-o-m in Jan’26 on improved rail flow

—

Saldanha Bay shipments increased sharply by 83.3% m-o-m to 9.88 mnt in Jan’26 (Dec: 5.39 mnt), on improved rail movement and stronger iron ore exports after prior disruptions.
Richards Bay shipments rose 14.7% m-o-m to 8.27 mnt (Dec: 7.21 mnt), supported by firmer Asian coal demand and better cargo flow post year-end slowdown.
