Richards Bay Harbour is South Africa's most modern and largest harbour in terms of volume, with its history beginning much more recently than the others. Parliament authorized the port's construction in 1972, and it officially opened in 1976. Built primarily for the export of coal, its development was driven by the need for a deep-water port to accommodate large bulk carriers and to provide a new rail link to the mining areas in Mpumalanga. Richards Bay has since diversified to handle a wide range of bulk and break-bulk cargoes, specialising in coal exports, minerals, and heavy industrial shipments. It plays a pivotal role in South Africa's resource export economy.
