BDS South Africa monitored at least 17 vessels loading at Richards Bay between October 2023 and December 2025, carrying at least 2.99 million tonnes to Hadera and Ashkelon. After Colombia's ban, exports rose 87% to 474,000 tonnes in the three months to November 2025, and News24 reports that South Africa's share of Israel's seaborne coal is heading to about 55%.
