FORECAST ACCURACY

Forecast Inaccuracy has been a major challenge and needs to improve in this season

Leads to congestion
Stacks being closed at short notice
Space constraints
Loss of Revenue for all parties

SLIDE 6

CURRENT CHALLENGES

Congestion
Shortage of plug points/Damaged plug points
Cannot access reefer containers in certain areas
Damaged Reefer platforms/Poor lighting in Reefer yard
Lifting of containers whilst still plugged //Missing/damaged cables
Reefer faults not reported timeously
Inbound rail containers not pre-advised with temperature settings

SLIDE 7

WHAT WILL TPT DO DIFFERENTLY

Reefers will be processed directly at the new Reefer yard
Activate bays at AA3 to process RR1 Reefers
Container Appointment System
Based on volume projections the terminal has increased its staff complement to

ensure monitoring takes place

Maintain all Reefer areas for access including improving lighting
Database updated for Reefer Technician contacts
Reefers coming in via rail will be checked before being called into DCT

SLIDE 8

WHAT CAN INDUSTRY DO DIFFERENTLY

Make use of off-peak periods to stack reefers
Check daily forecasts of available slots sent by sms and plan accordingly
Reefer cables must not be left in the cradle to prevent theft
Check that cables are present when opening twist locks
Stack protocol reefers on 1st day of stack
Evacuate import reefers
