The Prince Edward Dry Dock in Durban, constructed in the 1920s, reached maximum capacity recently.

The Port of Durban has marked a historic milestone at the Prince Edward Dry Dock at its Bayhead precinct by docking a record-breaking five marine crafts and a caisson gate.

With a capacity of 350m in length, the dock currently houses AMSOL’s uMkhuseli vessel that was rescued from distress at sea, iLembe, a hopper dredger which is booked for scheduled maintenance, three of the newly delivered tugs which are booked for mandatory assessments and certification and a caisson gate that is docked for leak repairs and corrosion protection.

“This is in line with our strategic focus and mission to stimulate a transformed maritime economy through adaptable and fit-for-purpose infrastructure,” said Nkumbuzi Ben-Mazwi, acting port manager for the Port of Durban.
