RBCT, the biggest coal export facility on the continent, offered a minimum 6% annual increase for three years. Volumes shipped at RBCT have dropped to the lowest level in decades because State-owned ports and rail operator Transnet’s operations have been hobbled by sabotage, cable theft and aging equipment.
