The port has a shortage of tug drivers in the port and the port is generally underutilised. The port has an old and dilapidated fleet of machinery, some of which was beyond repair or continuously broken. This had a negative impact on the productivity of the port. For example, out of 117 haulers and tractors, only 64 were available for use (55% availability). However, there were plans in place to replace ageing equipment in order to improve capacity and productivity.
