Sasol declares force majeure

CHEMICALS and energy group Sasol has declared a force majeure amid the strike at state-owned ports and railway operator Transnet as it hampers the movement of certain feedstocks and products between its operations in the interior and the Durban and Richards Bay ports. “As a result, Sasol has declared force majeure on the local supply and export of certain chemical products. Production rates at selected plants in Secunda and Sasolburg have been impacted,” the company said yesterday in a production update for the three months end-September. — BusinessDay.
