Dredging for South Africa’ s new Coega deepwater port in the Eastern Cape is progressing for completion by the end of the year. The project – on Algoa Bay at the mouth of the Coega River – is designed to act as a catalyst for regional economic development. The new port and its adjacent Industrial Development Zone, 20km east of Port Elizabeth is described as South Africa’ s largest infrastructural development scheme for a decade.
