Where movement finds meaning.

Integrated logistics solutions that connect Africa's trade with the world.

Moving cargo is about more than the ships, rail, roads and terminals. It’s about food reaching the shelves, manufacturers receiving the materials they need, businesses growing, and communities prospering.

Record-breaking performance at Grindrod’s Navitrade terminal in Richards Bay

Grindrod’s drybulk facility in Richards Bay, Navitrade, has officially surpassed last year’s record of 2 043 200 tonnes handled year to date. We’re proud to share that the terminal has now handled an impressive 2 212 375 tonnes of coal so far this year.

Grindrod delivered resilient volumes, stronger earnings and robust cash generation, supported by quality growth opportunities and clear momentum focused on sustainable value.

Terminal volumes increased significantly, driven by strong demand and improved throughput. Container, ships agency, and clearing and forwarding operations traded in a softer market, while rail performance was affected by reduced deployment. Locomotive redeployment is expected to accelerate in the second half, supported by the executed rail access agreement.

Safety remains a core focus. While LTIFR improved further, Grindrod regrettably recorded a fatality in June 2026, and additional controls have since been implemented.

Looking ahead, Grindrod enters the second half with clear momentum and a growth pipeline moving into delivery. Matola expansion, Maputo dredging and thephased rollout of rail open access will strengthen our integrated logistics offering. Our planned entry into container handling at Richards Bay in 2028 marks an important diversification opportunity. Backed by disciplined capital allocation and completed debt restructuring, Grindrod is well positioned to convert strategic momentum into sustainable value.
