Positioned at one of the world’s deep sea ports, RBCT is able to handle large ships and subsequent large volumes. As such, it has gained a reputation for operating efficiently and reliably. The 276 hectare site currently boasts a quay 2, 2 kilometres long with six berths and four ship loaders, with stockyard capacity of 8,2 million tons. RBCT shares a strong co-operative relationship with South Africa’s national utility, Transnet, which provides the railway services linking the coal mines to the port, and the shipping coordination of more than 700 ships per annum.

The Laboratory at RBCT is independently managed by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) which issues certificates of analysis for each coal shipment.

Employing just over 500 people, RBCT is proud of its excellent safety, health and environmental records and has maintained its ISO 14001 environmental accreditation and OHSAS 18001 safety management system.
