Sasol Ltd., South Africa’s biggest company by revenue, said unabated rail snarl-ups hampered its chemical shipments and pipeline disruptions slowed deliveries to its oil refinery, highlighting the deficiency of services provided by state logistics firm Transnet SOC Ltd.
“While overall supply-chain performance has improved and close collaboration with Transnet continues, it remains a risk to our business,” Sasol said in a production and sales update on Monday.
