Richards Bay Coal Terminal (Proprietary) Limited (RBCT) is a world class coal export terminal situated in the Port of Richards Bay.
The terminal was opened in 1976 with an original capacity of 12 million tons per annum (mt/a).
The terminal provides South Africa’s Coal Exporting Parties (CEP’s) with a world class logistics service that facilitates the export of coal.
Export Destination per Continent
RBCT is positioned at one of the world’s deep sea ports, and handles large ships and large volumes of coal.
The 276 hectare site currently boasts a quay that is 2,2 kilometers long with six berths and four ship loaders, with a stockyard capacity of 8,2 million tons (mt).
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 900 ships per annum.

INDUSTRY TRANSFORMATION
Excellent progress is being made in the transformation of the coal mining industry on several fronts, including:
Ownership
Skills Development
Procurement
Employment Equity
Community Enterprise Development
Corporate Social Investment
RBCT is well on its way to meeting the Mining Charter empowerment ownership criterion of 26% black ownership, set by the Department of Mineral Resources.
In 2004 RBCT started the Quattro process, making an initial capacity of 1 million tons per annum to Junior Miners. This capacity escalated to 4 million tons per annum.
To date, 19 million tons per annum has been allocated to meet the needs of black economic empowered mining entities. These include emerging junior miners who are part of the empowerment processes driven by government, together with RBCT’s own B-BBEE shareholding processes.
More than 20% of the South African coal sector is now owned and controlled by B-BBEE parties, with more than 20 B-BBEE deals having been concluded to date, at a value of approximately R19 billion.
A Phase 6 Expansion is also on the cards with potential to increase capacity to 110 MTPA through the main coal line, in partnership with government and Transnet. This would enable more capacity to be allocated to emerging miners, in line with RBCT’s commitment to empowerment.
RBCT’s corporate culture values diversity and we have various committees and initiatives undertaken to promote diversity in the Terminal.
Diversity is a company-wide strategic project, providing numerous benefits to both RBCT and its customers.
In South Africa, a diverse organisation is more than a necessity – it provides a competitive advantage in the form of a wealth of ideas, skills, experience, knowledge and innovation.
The wonderfully diverse RBCT team strives to appreciate and utilise every individual skill to help the company reach its full potential.
