  • Maritime Archaeological Impact Assessment of Proposed Aquaculture Areas 1, 6 and 7, Algoa Bay, Eastern Cape Province
    MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED AQUACULTURE AREAS 1, 6 AND 7, ALGOA BAY, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE Assessment conducted under Section 38 (8) of the National Heritage Resources Act (No. 25 of 1999) as part of a Basic Assessment Prepared for Anchor Research & Monitoring (Pty) Ltd On behalf of Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries February 2019 Prepared by John Gribble ACO Associates cc Physical: Unit D17, Prime Park, 21 Mocke Rd, Diep River Postal: 8 Jacobs Ladder St James, 7945 [email protected] Tel: 021 7064104 Cell: 078 616 2961 Fax to e-mail: 086 603 7195 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACO Associates cc has been requested by Anchor Research & Monitoring (Pty) Ltd on behalf of Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries to undertake a desktop maritime archaeological impact assessment of three areas within Algoa Bay under consideration as aquaculture areas, namely Algoa 1, 6 and 7. This maritime heritage assessment report, supported by recommendations for implementable mitigation measures will form part of a Basic Assessment for the proposed development of aquaculture in Algoa Bay. Findings: In respect of submerged prehistoric archaeological potential, this assessment indicates that although there have, to date, been no specific studies of the submerged prehistory of Algoa Bay, the archaeological evidence for a hominin presence in the Algoa Bay region in the Earlier, Middle and Later Stone Age is plentiful. At various times in the last 900,000 global glacial cycles have caused substantial drops in sea level and the current seabed of Algoa Bay would have been exposed as a terrestrial landscape. Ancient river courses, whose channels are today buried under modern seabed sediment, would have been an important focus for hominin activity on the exposed continental shelf in the past and there is the potential for the occurrence of ancient, submerged archaeological material in association with palaeo- river channels.

  • A Case Study for the Port of Ngqura
    COPE LEVELS IN MODERN PORTS: A CASE STUDY FOR THE PORT OF NGQURA TA AHMED1 and K MUTOMBO2 1Transnet National Ports Authority, Neptune Road, Port of Ngqura Cell: 072 392 0548; Email: [email protected] 2Transnet National Ports Authority, 30 Wellington Road, Parktown, Johannesburg Cell: 083 463 8092; Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Nowadays, with the increasing climatic challenges, ports are beset with many uncertainties about their futures. They are confronted with new demands for infrastructure adaptation, new external constraints, and changed expectations. The inability to adequately meet these demands will lead to huge consequences for a port. This is mainly attributed to the fact that traditional practices of port planning have remained static in an ever-increasing dynamic world. Predicting the future using linear tools for complex non-linear systems is bound to fail. A new complex non-linear approach is needed. The complex nature of climate risks presents major difficulties for port infrastructure adaptation. Despite the availability of climate data at large, there is presently no provision for a port wide approach for assessing and incorporating these data into port adaptation. This paper proposes a methodology for determining cope levels in ports. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the methodology, the port of Ngqura is used as a case study. Central to this study is the building of widespread industry recognition of the need to factor climate change into decision making at early stages of port development. 1. INTRODUCTION Since the end of apartheid, there have been remarkable progress in South Africa in terms of building an inclusive society, rolling back the shadow of history and broadening opportunities for all.

  • TRANSNET SOC LTD and COEGA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (CDC) COLLABORATE to ACCELERATE INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY
    TRANSNET SOC LTD and COEGA DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (CDC) COLLABORATE TO ACCELERATE INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY [Johannesburg, South Africa; 09 June 2021] Transnet SOC Ltd (“Transnet”) announced today that Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has appointed the Coega Development Corporation (CDC) as the implementation agent for the migration of manganese terminal to the Port of Ngqura Liquid Bulk and Manganese Export Terminal. The CDC is the infrastructure implementing agent of choice in South Africa, working closely with government and state-owned companies to enhance the state’s capacity in the implementation of complex and mega infrastructure programmes. Currently, the CDC manages portfolios for itself and various public sector clients, with a portfolio of infrastructure projects to the value of approximately R5.3 billion. The CDC and TNPA are working to implement the terminal relocation projects, mainly the current operational Liquid Bulk and Manganese Terminals in Gqeberha at the Port of Port Elizabeth, within appropriate and realistic timelines. The CDC has been tasked to facilitate the construction and operationalisation of the Ngqura Liquid Bulk and the Ngqura Bulk Manganese facility. These facilities would be developed under the purview of Transnet, to assist and support their operationalisation. The CDC’s role will include the review of the design and scope of the work to ensure that modern, state of the art terminals that are designed to operate in accordance with world-class environmental standards and ensure their sustainability, in responsive to market needs. The current locations of the Tank Farm and the Manganese Terminal at the Port of Port Elizabeth are in areas that in future will be part of the Phase 2 of the proposed Waterfront Development, and an Automotive Terminal which aligns with the FORD SA R15.8 billion investment which requires exporting Fully Built Automotive Units (FBUs) through the Port of Port Elizabeth from the Tshwane Special Economic Zone, which is currently under construction.
