“Our team believes that this complaint is without merit,” Karpowership SA spokesperson Kay Sexwale said on Wednesday.

The seafood sellers fear the 415 megawatt ship — to be moored for two decades at Saldanha Bay, 140km north of Cape Town — will pump hot water into the bay and make endless noise, spoiling farmed oysters and scaring off fish as Africa's most industrialised country scrambles to fix electricity problems.

Saldanha Bay is SA's first sea-based aquaculture zone, with 16 new entrants welcomed last year to an industry worth around one billion rand annually, Fisheries Department officials said. Ruck is worried that hot water discharge from the Karpowership vessel may stimulate harmful algae blooms that could render his succulent oysters inedible.
