Durban Sugar Terminal

Overview

The South African Sugar Terminal is one of the largest of its kind in the world. The three enormous silos are capable of holding a total of more than half a million tons of refined sugar, and handling and moving up to 800 tons of sugar per hour. It is here at the Sugar Terminal, that sugar from the silos is loaded onto cargo ships, and transported from Durban's harbour to various destinations across the the globe.

Guided tours of the South African Sugar Terminal feature a fascinating wide screen film presentation on the production, processing and refinement of sugar. Sugar terminal tours run daily at 08h30, 10h00, 11h30, and 14h30, however no tours are conducted on Fridays.
