South Africa is opening up to allow crew changes involving foreign crews.
The catch is that scheduled commercial flights to and from the country remain suspended.
South African Transport Minister Kikile Mbalula announced in the Government Gazette that the country will, with immediate effect, permit the exchange of foreign seafarers in the ports of Durban and Cape Town.
Crew changes are not permitted at Saldhana Bay and Richards Bay, the country’s two main dry bulk ports, nor the container port of Nquara.
