Damasane speaks out on TPT restructuringBy Ray Smuts

Transnet Port Terminals’ huge new restructuring plan, possibly the country’s largest in one fell swoop, is all about a smoother, more efficiently running corporate engine, chief operating officer, Nosipho Damasane, said in Cape Town last week.

It’s not about trying to fit square pegs in round holes but focusing instead on particular, demonstrated skills of senior management. There’s also a strong emphasis on across-the-board training, with customer needs first and foremost in mind.

To this end, 159 Sri Lankans recruited to train

operators of the new-generation cranes in Cape Town are being replaced by a group from Thailand, and Transnet has just approved deployment of Sri Lankan trainers for the new planning department.

Quizzed on whether the sweeping senior management changes were triggered by the realisation that all was not well within TPT ranks, she agreed that the organisation had not looked at whether the skills were in the right places.

She adds TPT tends as a rule to check every few years whether it is “still on course”, what it can do differently, where it is lagging behind and how it can best utilise

particular individual skills. Little has been said about

the move of Cape Town Container Terminal business executive, Oscar Borchards, to the new Durban-based TQM and Continuous Improvement division, Damasane stressing once again overall skills.

“Oscar has been with the organisation for more than ten years, he is very strong operationally and we cannot lose that sort of excellence. But sometimes one who is strong operationally might not necessarily be strong in other aspects to lead a terminal the size of Cape Town.”

Damasane dismissed

RFA to meet DoT on axle mass issueBy Liesl Venter

The Road Freight Association (RFA) is set to meet with the Department of Transport next Wednesday (December 9) to discuss the proposed reduction in axle mass loads

and the prohibition of moving certain goods by road.

According to RFA spokesman Gavin Kelly, the meeting has been scheduled with the deputy director general of the DoT.

This follows the circulation

of a letter of intent by the DoT in which it proposed a reduction of the permissible axle mass from 9-tons per four wheel axle to 8-tons on the secondary road system. The aim of this, they said, was to move commercial

vehicles onto the primary road network and preserve SA’s secondary network.

Huge uproar followed with the RFA gaining support from industry and road organisations alike.

Kelly said no further

correspondence had been received from the DoT but the organisation had requested timelines for the proposed implementation of the new proposal as well as clarity on a host of other issues.

Madagascar has been added to the list of countries that the US says are open to terrorist

infiltration at its ports, with the exception of Toamasina.

Ships calling at US ports, and which have been to Madagascar in their last

five calls, have to prove they have carried out extra precautions to prevent terrorists slipping on board at a port in Madagascar. These include posting

security guards at all entry points and checks of the identity of all visitors.

Very few US-bound vessels will be affected by the measures, as almost all

call only at Toamasina.A total of 13 countries

are now on the list of those that don't have effective anti-terrorism measures, seven of them from Africa.

Declining profits raise alarm bells for SA fruit exportersBy James Hall

Declining profits for exported SA produce has prompted a debate on prices. Some exporters feel SA product is undervalued on the world market, while others say SA fruits and vegetables cannot compete due to unfair foreign competition.

The Citrus Growers’ Association says its members are reporting losses between R10 and R15 per carton of fruit exported in 2009,

totalling between R800m and R1.2bn in total losses for the industry this year.

In a memo to growers, CGA CEO Justin Chadwick posed the obvious question: “Why are we exporting our products at a loss? Every year we are so happy that we have sold these huge volumes of citrus – 80 to 90 million cartons – but at what cost? What is the sense of selling that amount and ending up with a loss?”

Suggesting the answer may

lie in marketing, Chadwick said the issue was not the quality of SA product, which is good, but pricing that did not cover production cost or allow for profit.

“The problem is this – if the final price paid by the consumer is insufficient to cover all costs in the chain, then either the price must be increased or the product must not be put in the chain in the first place. It seems that we continue to supply into the market even though this final

price is insufficient – sending a signal to the buyer that the price is sufficient,” he said.

Higher prices are not the answer if competitors keep theirs’ artificially low, some exporters learned this year.

Jeffrey Zetler of Cape Fresh and Frozen Producers’ Association said his transport needs for frozen product had dropped more than three-quarters due to business lost

to overseas competition. “I used to sell 2000 tonnes of frozen produce a year. Now I am down to about 400 tonnes a year. I cannot compete with the Chinese – their strawberries in particular. They are flooding the market with product and (their product) is dirt cheap.”

Zetler faults government for not applying duties on imported Chinese produce.

SA and Norway sign bilateral cooperation agreementsTrade falls short of potential despite 300% growth

By Liesl Venter

Trade between South Africa and Norway may have increased by a staggering 300% in the past five years, but still falls short of its potential, according to Halvard Ingebrigtsen, Norwegian deputy minister of Trade and Industry.

Speaking at a business lunch in Sandton last week on the last day of the Norwegian business mission to South Africa, arranged to coincide with the State visit of their Majesties King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway, Ingebrigtsen said business seminars held in both Johannesburg and Cape Town had gone a long way to establishing meaningful relationships that would boost imports and exports for

both countries.A large contingent of

government officials also accompanied the business mission and met with their South African counterparts. This has strengthened bilateral relations between the two countries while important agreements were sealed. These include a bilateral cooperation agreement on partnerships in Africa and climate change, and cooperation in higher education and research.

“The visit to the country marks an important transition in Norway’s relationship with South Africa,” said Ingebrigtsen. “It has gone from us supporting the extensive democracy-building initiatives during the apartheid years into a 21st century global partnership in trade, business and

climate change initiatives.”According to Gunn

Ovesen, head of the business delegation, this is the largest delegation of its kind to visit South Africa.

“The aim was to consolidate and develop economic bilateral relations between the two countries. The South African marketplace is of growing interest to the Norwegian business community During the past few years we have seen Norwegian companies establishing sister companies and partnerships in South Africa leading to increasing and huge business potential.”

Exports from South Africa to Norway are presently around several billion rand, but this is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years.

Industry confident that TPT is on the right trackCommentators speak out on management reshuffle

By Alan Peat

The freight industry is still abuzz with talk of the big management changes conducted at Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) three weeks ago, with the roadshow publicising the new business plan still buzzing round the countryside.

A main impression gained by FTW from freight contacts is that “sweeping” is certainly the word for this development. There are 22 names mentioned in the TPT media release, most of them new to their positions, and almost all are business unit executives (BUE) or higher.

It also saw a top-level GM being appointed, a new department formed, and four other operational sectors reduced to three.

And, since then, there has been an even higher-level story, with former CE Tau Morwe moving out to take over Transnet Freight Rail

(TFR) – bereft of its top executive by the suspension of CE, Siyabonga Gama – and being replaced by Karl Socikwa, previously Transnet’s group executive: commercial, and now appointed acting interim head of TPT.

A number of industry voices told FTW that they couldn’t remember so many high-level management and structural changes in any private sector corporate – and that any change of this magnitude was bound to have repercussions.

But the other opinion expressed by most of the freight industry members we spoke to was that a lot of the names were not well known to them, if at all, and it was a bit of a “wait-and-see” period until it could be ascertained what was happening in practice.

Others commentators took it a bit further.

The consensus in the

shipping industry in SA, according to Andrew Thomas, CEO of Ocean Africa Container Line (OACL) and chairman of the SA Association of Ship Operators and Agents (Saasoa), is that TPT is focusing on the right area – management.

At a high-level meeting with Transnet, including acting CEO Chris Wells and the new BUEs at TPT, the lines’ understanding was that the TPT refocus on getting efficiencies in its infrastructure saw the operator appointing only people who had specialised in their specific areas of responsibility.

“For them to realise the potential of their assets,” said Thomas, “we need to see an improvement in the productivity.

“We’re supportive of all their efforts and pleased that they are focusing on the management.”

Because Transnet is a geographically isolated port

operator, it doesn’t share the global experiences of the world’s major operators. There’s therefore a definite lack of people with international experience to share within the group, according to Thomas.

And the lines have some

advice to offer on the subject, he added.

“They need ‘hired guns’ from the best of international talent,” he told FTW, “which can lead to a transfer of skills process and help to develop the local skills to effectively operate the high-tech equipment TPT now has.”

The consensus in the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff) was in similar vein, according to Durban-based maritime adviser, Dave Watts, who suggested that the changes in management announced do in fact indicate an understanding of some of the difficulties facing TPT.

The forwarders’ body also agreed that, over recent years, there had been a process of equipment replacement and refurbishment at the three major terminals in Durban and Cape Town.

“Lack of service delivery can no longer be laid at the door of insufficient

or outdated equipment and infrastructure,” said Watts, “and poor performance can only be placed at the door of management and the level of training and skills available to them.”

As FTW turned its attention to Cape Town, Mike Walwyn, director of Seaboard and Western Cape chairman of Saaff, was trite and to the point.

“I’m not sure we know enough about these new people yet,” he said. “But our general feeling is that changes were necessary, and that there were management problems at the Cape Town terminal. If this is an attempt to rectify this, then it is to be welcomed.”

But Cape port users still remain hesitant, and whether this new business plan will work in practice is another question, according to Walwyn.

“The jury’s still out on that,” he said.Moving to Port Elizabeth, Eben

Joubert, branch manager of ship’s agency, King & Sons, was first to speak.

Talking about the appointment of Ntomboxolo ‘Nikki’ Mbengashe (former BUE of Saldanha then Richards Bay multipurpose terminals) as mananger of the PE terminal, Joubert said: “There is no negative

feeling here (in PE). In our case we need to see what she can bring to TPT service delivery levels in PE.”

This was followed with some feedback from PE Freight Industry Forum (FIF) chairman, Lance Petersen, branch manager of SAEL and Eastern Cape director of Saaff.

“We welcome efforts to strengthen the management structures in PE,” he told FTW. “But, in all fairness, we need to give the good lady time to find her feet first and foremost, and then to prove she is up to the challenge.”

The forum sees the sense in splitting the management of the PE terminal and the terminal at the nearby new port of Ngqura – where former incumbent Hector Danisa, managed both.

“Having dedicated BUEs for each port makes sense,” Petersen said, “so that each can focus on the unique challenges they face.

Not all the commentators were however supportive or in a wait-and-see mood.

The senior executive of a major freight group, who wished to remain nameless, was adamant that the changes were welcome – but went nowhere near far enough.

Fully integrated accounting module adds valueHelping financial management in investigation and financial controlIn the current climate, using the correct software package is a vital component in the battle to keep costs under control, according to Darryl Greef, MD of Advanced Customs Solutions (ACS).

“Making the right choice means that clearing agents can manage their businesses effectively and maximise profitability.

“Accurate real-time financial information is essential for management to keep a tight grip on costs, and to ensure that negative trends in the business are acted upon quickly.”

To meet this market need, you need to offer up-to-date technology and programming

methods, says Greef.“This is part of our

ongoing drive to keep pace with the changing face of customs’ electronic developments. And to achieve this we now have a modern, user-friendly, fully integrated accounting module to enhance our established clearing and forwarding programme.”

It is all part of the huge emphasis at ACS on accurate real-time reporting and efficient, user-friendly management tools – both in operations and administration, according to Greef.

“The accounting module contains unique reconciliation tools to enable easy and accurate reconciliations of among

others, Sars Vat and duty accounts, disbursements against estimates and bank reconciliations,” he said.

“The fact that the accounting module is fully integrated means that another package is not necessary – and there is no duplication of work through having to recapture or ‘dump’ information into another accounting package.”

Along with the reporting flexibility of the freight system, Greef emphasised that the accounting module had also been designed with a huge emphasis on assisting the accounting department and financial management in investigation and financial control.

Retired containers create resource centre for grape industryCapespan and Maersk Line have extended their shipping partnership well beyond the trade and transport arena with the recent launch of an educational resource centre for the children of the Namibian Grape Company employees.

A joint venture by the two companies, the 120 m2 centre will be used during the grape harvesting period to ensure that workers’ children are in a safe and happy environment while their parents are at work.

The line’s social projects have predominantly been focused on the educational needs within the Southern Africa region. It has invested and deployed in excess of 8 000 retired containers for education centres and crèches in previously disadvantaged communities.

Adding an environmental stamp, each CSI project will

be accompanied by local tree-planting initiatives and Aussenkehr in Namibia will be one of the first with more than 100 trees to be planted at the centre as part of this initiative.

Each CSI project is accompanied by local tree-planting initiatives.

AF-KL Cargo launches CO2 neutral serviceAgainst the backdrop of growing concerns about the impact of carbon footprint on shipping trends, Air France Cargo-KLM Cargo has come up with an innovative carbon offset programme – CO2mpensation – and already four major South African perishables agents have signed up for it.

AF-KL Cargo is the first major carrier to provide freight forwarders and shippers with a detailed insight into the CO2 emission of their shipments, with an option to compensate the generated emissions in Gold Standard projects that create wind, water and solar energy, says AF-KL Cargo Southern Africa director Rahul Pathak.

Aviator Airfreight, Grindrod PCA, Morgan Cargo and Sky Services have agreed to compensate for at least 50% of the CO2 emitted by the transportation of fruit in the peak season from November to December, through this

carbon offset service.Forwarders are becoming

increasingly aware of the carbon miles issue, says Pathak.

“Many forwarders appreciate the fact that we create transparency in the CO2 emission of their shipments. In this growing debate, clearly the air cargo industry is taking on the challenge of reducing the impact on the environment, jointly with our customers,” he told FTW.

Clearly actions speak louder than words, and leading from the front to drive this initiative are Mike Froy MD Grindrod PCA, Jimmy Liebenberg MD Aviator Airfreight, Schalk Bruwer MD Morgan Cargo and Jaco Vlok director Sky Services.

All agree that reducing carbon emissions not only makes sound business sense but should be a key pillar of any responsible company’s philosophy.

Calculating carbon emissions ... AF-KL Cargo can now provide shippers and forwarders with a detailed insight into the CO2 emission of their shipments.

EAS scores Tanzanian agency appointmentBy Alan Peat

After a lengthy selection process, the SA-headquartered Express Air Services has been chosen as British Airways World Cargo (BAWC) general sales agent for Tanzania from December 1.

“After listening to agents’ needs for an impartial set up in Tanzania, we are happy to have concluded an

extensive and vigorous tendering process consisting of five companies and lasting almost one year – and to have appointed EAS,” said Michael Muriithi, BAWC’s area commercial manager for East Africa.

Garry Marshall, MD of EAS, was equally vocal in his response to this appointment by the mainstream global carrier, BAWC.

“It’s very exciting for

us,” he told FTW. “Our footprint has previously been mainly local and regional air carriers, but taking on such an international major gives us a step up into the global arena.”

EAS Tanzania has offices in Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro and Mwanza and also represents Air Malawi, Air Uganda, Zambezi Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, 1Time Airlines and Air Zara

International.Another reason

that EAS was chosen, according to BAWC, was its independent status.

“EAS Tanzania will not be executing airway bills and courier baggage vouchers – and, therefore, is not in direct competition with agents in the market,” Marshall added.

SwissPort (Tanzania) remains the BAWC ground handling agent.

Transit comes of ageThere was a double celebration for airfreight company Transit last month as it celebrated its tenth anniversary on November 1 and took home the SAA Cargo platinum award at the airline’s recent awards ceremony.

Having recently added a road freight option to its express portfolio, Transit has expanded this over the past 18 months to include Port Elizabeth, Durban,

Bloemfontein, Kimberley, Welkom, Harrismith and Ladysmith, as well as Cape Town.

“All are now served daily,” says sales manager Jurie Koen, who is also encouraged by the positive market response to its new TLC ONX service for fragile cargo.

The new service was launched in October on the main airways and has now been incorporated into its road and regional network.

Liberalised intra-Africa aviation market ‘critical’By Alan Peat

There is a distinct need for some cohesion in Africa about concluding the now-perennial discussion on the 1999 Yamoussoukro Declaration (YD) – compiled by the United Nations (UN) body, the Economic Commission for Africa, and designed to progressively establish a liberalised intra-African aviation market concerning, among other things, traffic rights, capacity, frequency

and pricing.This call was made by

Chris Zweigenthal, CEO of the AirlinesAssociation of Southern Africa (AASA), who told FTW: “There is no doubt in my mind that many African states and airlines are realising that the implementation of the YD is the way to go.

“There are obviously some states and airlines that do not support this process.

“The states who see the benefits now realise that the formalised implementation of

YD is hampered by certain barriers, real and not real, to formal implementation.”

These barriers include the inability of the African Civil Aviation Commission (Afcac) to effectively take up its role as the executing agency as designated by the African Union (AU).

“Two and a half years after being given the job, Afcac still has to amend its constitution to be able to structure and resource itself to perform the function,” Zweigenthal said.

Garry Marshall ... ‘A step up into the global arena.’

The five eight-tonners look much like all the other vehicles at the airport. Belonging to NGL Logistic Solutions they don’t particularly stand out, but they are different.

These five vehicles are part of a pilot project by the company to address the short lifespan of airport vehicles.

According to NGL Logistic Solutions’ director Quinton de Villiers, the bodies of the vehicles have been reinforced while de-rubbers have been installed to help with the impact of the heavy pallets.

With each vehicle able to take two aircraft pallets, often weighing in at more than 3 tonnes, back-to-back their lifespan is to increase dramatically.

“At the moment a vehicle

working exclusively at the airport needs to be refurbished at least once a year. We believe with the changes and amendments we have made, we can extend that lifespan to at least three years,” says De Villiers. “This will result in a cost saving not only for us but also for the clients.”

The decision was also taken not to purchase open-ended trucks. “This means we can save time as the pallets are pushed from the rollerbed onto the back of the track – there is no more strapping or tarpaulin to be put in place. It is quick and the cargo is protected from the weather and criminal elements.”

De Villiers says all five trucks were reinforced without compromising on the payload. “They still carry the SABS approval. Various factors had to be

taken into account during the design process, but we believe what we have

achieved is a satisfactory solution to what has been a continuous problem.”

K+N lands BMW dealIn a deal that puts Kuehne + Nagel in the driver’s seat, the logistics major has been awarded a contract to manage the BMW South Africa Parts and Accessories Distribution Centre in Midrand.

The facility is responsible for the distribution of parts to South Africa and five neighbouring countries.

K+N has since the end of 2008 managed part of the BMW-operated facility in Midrand.

The latest development sees BMW outsourcing the entire operation, with a three-year contract covering the management of the entire national parts distribution centre.

Trans Kalahari one stop border gains momentum

By Liesl Venter

Stakeholders will meet in the first quarter of 2010 to discuss the establishment of the first one-stop border post on the Trans Kalahari Corridor.

That was the message from Bevan Simataa, executive director of the

Trans Kalahari Corridor secretariat, at a meeting in Johannesburg last week.

“Feasibility studies have already been completed and we have seen overwhelming buy-in from all the roleplayers and stakeholders,” he told FTW. “Lead agencies have been identified and national committees established to conduct internal consultations based on the recommendations of the study.

“At this stage the recommendation we have is that all commercial vehicles stop on the Namibian side and all passenger vehicles on the Botswana side. Already that will increase productivity.”

He said there was no doubt that a one-stop borderpost would enhance supply chain efficiency.

“Already we have extended the border hours and that has had a major impact. We believe a one-stop border post will enhance operation on this route dramatically,” said Simataa. “The implementation of the SAD 500, a single administrative document between the three countries, has also brought about much harmonisation. This form is now being adopted across the SADC.”

Bevan Simataa … overwhelming buy-in from all the roleplayers.

Good news on tariff classification frontAdvances in correct classification of goods There has always been much debate and difference of opinion on the classification of goods.

Part of the problem has been bias on both sides – Customs preferring a classification that results in a higher rate of duty, while importers try to classify goods under a sub-heading that minimises the duty payable.

In addition, tariff determinations have not been published for the benefit of parties importing like products. Instead, Customs maintains that it has been

precluded from publishing such tariff determinations because of the confidentiality provisions in Section 4 of the Customs & Excise Act.

The draft Customs Duty Bill has addressed this problem in a very practical and positive manner which should definitely be welcomed by all stakeholders.

Section 103 (2) of the Draft Bill states that when classifying goods “the Compendium of Classification Opinions to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System issued by the Customs Co-operation

Council must be considered”.This will broaden the

opinion base and allow classification to be achieved in a "democratic" and hopefully unbiased manner.

Section 118 (1) of the Draft Bill states that "the Commissioner may make public particulars of any tariff determination or re-determination in such a manner and containing such information as the Commissioner may determine.”

We sincerely hope that this will eventually lead to the publication of all local

tariff determinations, leading to greater transparency and eliminating suspicion of unfair practice.

These provisions bring with them a greater responsibility. Section 92 of the Draft Bill has extended the time limit on duty re-assessments to three years from the date of the original assessment of duty (customs clearance).

We strongly suggest, as we have on many occasions in the past, that all importers, exporters and manufacturers undergo a thorough audit of their products to avoid hefty customs schedules in duty

and penalties being imposed, especially now that Customs proposes to extend its audit period to three years.

Lastly, it is interesting to note that Section 12 (1) of the bill states that "the Minister must, within a reasonable time after this Act took effect, by notice in the Gazette, issue a Customs Tariff replacing Schedules 1,2,3,4 and 5 to the Customs and Excise Act, 1964”.

Customs @ Wylie will investigate the full meaning and impact of this particular section and provide an update in a future article.

Custom MadeYour regular specialist column on customs-related issues

By Mark Boucher


By Ray Smuts

Doing business day in day out with one’s family may sound illogical and impractical to some, but the formula has worked well at Cape Town’s Robertson Freight. With seven family members and two “in-laws” on the payroll, surely this must be some kind of an industry record.

“At the end of the day it involves personalities and we do have our differences from time to time though it’s no big spiel,” admits director Brian Robertson.

Aside from Brian and fellow director and younger brother, Neil, the other Robertsons are Brian’s wife, Cheryl (accounts); his son, Lyle (imports); daughters Mia (exports) and Kim (debtor’s clerk) and Neil’s stepson, Fabian, (exports).

By no means one of the ‘biggies’ in the Western Cape, Robertson Freight celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.

Rory Brickhill, who too

is a seasoned shipping man, has been affiliated with the Robertson clan for almost a quarter of a century now. He manages the branch and keeps all the “flock under his wing”, according to Neil

Brian was a co-founder and director of Meihuizen Freight in the Mother City in the mid-1980s but there came a time when he and Neil, also at Meihuizen at the time, decided to “go it alone”.

In July 1999 Neil set up Robertson Freight with an initial amount of R51 000. A month later Brian joined the family business, and they haven’t regretted it for one minute.“We started the business with R129 000 working capital and a one-page debtor’s book, turning over around R1 million in the first year.

“Ten years down the line, the debtor’s book has grown to more than ten pages and our revenue was up by 21% to R54 million in 2008, thanks to the support of 180 regular and about

45 cash customers.”Neil says the company

initially handled around 15 containers (teus and feus) a month, that figure rising to 145 containers a month in 2008, 70% consisting of imports.

Not given to mincing his words, Brian says it is unfortunate that while the Cape freight and forwarding sector has always striven for professionalism, it is instead treated with derision by

some, much like a “spaza industry”.

Primarily in the firing line are Sars and certain shipping lines who show clear disdain, particularly for smaller forwarders, by demanding bank guaranteed cheques for freight payments.

Despite the challenges, says Neil: “We are not going anywhere anytime soon – the family business will be around for many years to come.”

Damasane speaks out

claims that TPT had displayed arrogance and a take-it-or-leave it attitude toward customers.

“I would love to meet a customer who says we are arrogant. When we started with construction in Durban and Cape Town it was an alignment with customers we would take the pain together.

“In the past four months we realised Cape Town was

feeling too much pain and we sent in extra personnel,” she says, adding customers have commented favourably since then.

Velile Dube, appointed head of the new TQM and CI department, steers clear of the nature of structuring, save to say: ”Once we understand what procedures and processes are a frustration to our customers in achieving the levels they seek, we will

have to make sure we respond accordingly. I want to find solutions.”

Current Durban Container Terminal business unit executive, Moshe Motlohi, will assume duties as terminal executive (the new naming for this position) for the merged Cape Town Container Terminal and multi-purpose terminal on January 1, his successor to be announced at a later stage.

In the largest single funding initiative for one project, Transnet last week officially signed a €200m loan deal with the Agence Française de Développement Group (AFD) to part-fund Cape Town Container Terminal’s R4.6bn expansion.

The plan entails deepening the harbour, upgrading quay facilities, doubling capacity to 1.4m TEUs a year (by 2012), and the installation of a gate automation and operating system.

The loan (to be rolled out over 15 years with a three-year capital grace period), marks AFD’s first agreement with Transnet.

Accepting the cheque at last week’s signing

ceremony was Chris Wells, acting CEO of Transnet, who explained the planned expansion of the container terminal was just part of an R80bn planned investment programme.

“It has been important to attract international investors, although we expect to fund 35% of our R80 billion programme through our own internally raised cash.

“We started discussions with AFD with a view to their funding certain aspects of our infrastructure project that met with their requirements, and we look forward to further business and cooperation with AFD.”

“We are a full supporter of Transnet’s expansion plans and are confident

this will play a major role in stimulating the South African economy and sustaining jobs for South Africans working at the ports and the construction companies implementing the project,” AFD CEO Jean-Michel Severino told FTW.● AFD is a specialised public development finance institution that has worked to fight poverty and support economic growth in developing countries and the French overseas communities for nearly 70 years.

With offices in over fifty countries, Africa represents two-thirds of its financial commitments, with South Africa being a major involvement for the past 15 years.

Namport on track to more than double capacityBY Liesl Venter

Construction of the new container terminal at the Walvis Bay Port is expected to start no later than mid 2010 with the new facilities fully operational by 2012, according to Elias Mwenyo, manager sales and services of the Namibian Port Authority (Namport).

Speaking at a networking function organised by the Walvis Bay Corridor Group in Johannesburg last week, Mwenyo said the expansion plans would see the port increase its capacity to handle 500 000 TEUs per annum, more than double its current capacity.

“The Port handles some 5.3 million tons of cargo per year with an average of 410 ships calling per month,” Mwenyo said.

Expansion plans are all part of the plan to establish Walvis Bay as a gateway to the SADC region via the three corridors – the Trans Kunene, Trans Caprivi and the Trans Kalahari.

He said the development of the Port also included construction of a new hydrocarbon liquid bulk tanker jetty while a new IT system would be implemented to speed up the efficiency of the new container terminal.

“We are also investing heavily in new equipment which will include ship to shore cranes and rubber tyre gantries.”
