At the beginning of April local newspapers in Durban including Business Day carried a story announcing a legal challenge by APM Terminals (APMT), part of the Maersk group, to the confirmed award by Transnet of the Durban Container Terminal (DCT) Pier 2 concession to International Container Terminal Services Inc.

Interestingly, the story carried by Business Day, which features direct quotes from APMT, reflects the message from APMT that it is doing this for the good of the country overall, as part of its stated mission to, “Improve life for all by integrating the world.”
