Richards Bay Coal Terminal Ltd., Africa’s biggest facility for exporting the fuel, is undertaking a 1.34 billion-rand ($108 million) project to replace equipment that’s more than three decades old.
Work on the upgrade, which includes replacing shiploaders and substations, has started and will be completed by January 2018, the company said in a presentation at Richards Bay on South Africa’s northeastern coast. Sandvik AB’s mining-systems unit will carry out the improvements, while Aurecon and Norconsult AS are also involved, it said.
