You've obviously never been to Cape Town then and even seen the harbour. Even oil rigs are refitted there. But here you go seeing you couldn't look for yourself:

The port evolved greatly over the centuries and currently consists of several main components:
  • The Ben Schoeman Dock: This is the larger outer dock of the port, where the container terminal is situated.
  • The Duncan Dock: This is the smaller and the older inner dock, containing the multi-purpose and fruit terminals as well as a dry dock, repair quay and tanker basin.
  • The yachting marina.
  • The Victoria and Alfred Basins: These were the main piers of the original Cape Town harbour, but now house the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. However, these basins are still used by smaller commercial vessels such as fishing and pleasure boats and also by smaller passenger cruise ships.
The port is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All vessels berthing in the port require a pilot on board. Transfer is by pilot boat but plans have been made to introduce a helicopter transfer service.

Several tugs, launches, workboats and other specialised vessels are operated by the port.

During the 2005/06 financial year, the Port of Cape Town handled 3,400 vessels for a gross tonnage of 48,778,963-gt. Total cargo handled at the port (excluding containers) was 3,718,005 tonnes; container tonnage is estimated at 9.948 million tonnes.

Thank you for your reply, but it was TLDR.

I'm not trying to argue, it's just that I grew up in dbn and have always been told that CT port is micky mouse compared to dbn.

Same with RB, EL, PE etc. It is why CT port isn't known for cargo afaik.

I guess my jab against criminal yacht's got lost in translation and admit CT port is big enough to handle a single yacht and apologise for even bringing it up in the first place.

A post as long as your answer was TLDR? Because you don't actually want the truth, hey?

No I am waiting for your reference. I am guessing it’s on the same site as the faked moon landing.

Here you go then. I'm surprised your google skills are worse than mine:

In the early 1970s, Saddam Hussein ordered the creation of a clandestine nuclear weapons program. Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs were assisted by a wide variety of firms and governments in the 1970s and 1980s.

As part of Project 922, Iraq built chemical weapons facilities such as laboratories, bunkers, an administrative building, and first production buildings in the early 1980s under the cover of a pesticide plant. German firms sent 1,027 tons of precursors of mustard gas, sarin, tabun, and tear gasses in all. This work allowed Iraq to produce 150 tons of mustard agent and 60 tons of Tabun in 1983 and 1984 respectively, continuing throughout the decade.

Five other German firms supplied equipment to manufacture botulin toxin and mycotoxin for germ warfare. In 1988, German engineers presented centrifuge data that helped Iraq expand its nuclear weapons program.

Laboratory equipment and other information was provided, involving many German engineers. All told, 52% of Iraq's international chemical weapon equipment was of German origin. The State Establishment for Pesticide Production (SEPP) ordered culture media and incubators from Germany's Water Engineering Trading.
