The South African marine manufacturing industry comprises not only of the manufacturing of ships and boats but also the repairing of vessels and rigs. The manufacturing of these products and services are aimed to serve both the commercial and leisure market segments.

It is important to note that the manufacturing of ships and boats differ from that of other traditional manufacturing sectors since manufacturing takes place over an extended time frame requiring different skills sets in different time slots. Even though the output is small in quantities and takes on average more than a year to complete the value of projects are high.

1 In the 2011/12 financial year, ship/boat building was identified as a priority sector as it has emerged that the sector is a significant contributor to the South African economy. Research has indicated that the manufacture and repair of ships and vessels in South Africa is viewed as a highly strategic industry with strong and extended linkages for economic growth and employment multipliers.

In 2013 the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) undertook research on the feasibility of designating working vessels for local procurement. This process culminated in the designation of working vessels with a 60% local content. To this effect, an instruction note was issued by the National Treasury on 21 August 2014. The rationale behind designating working vessels for local procurement lies with the fact that large amounts of vessels are being procured by government and State-Owned Companies (SOCs). Considering the challenges of unemployment in South Africa and the opportunity offered by public procurement of working vessels, designation of the sector can resuscitate the local ship/boat building industry and thus boost job creation across numerous sub-sectors and value chains.

The ship and boat building sector desk is continuously looking at ways that can be used in the local manufacturing sector to develop and grow the industry. The main objective of this industry guide is to provide information on a list of highly skilled ship and boat manufacturers, component manufacturers and ship repairers in South Africa.

In conclusion, the dti has come far since 2011 when the Industrial Development Division (IDD) allocated permanent resources to assist with the development of the ship and boat building and associated services industry. Great strides have been made to resuscitate the industry and to create and save sustainable jobs in the marine manufacturing industry.

The Western Cape is the largest international awards and building a strong marine manufacturing centre within South Africa, reputation among international boat designers generating over R1 billion in 2014 in export revenue and consumers. A notable success is that South (Quantec, 2015), and houses approximately 70% Africa has grown to become the world’s second of boat builders. About 18% of boat builders are largest producer of recreational catamarans, based in KZN and 12% in the rest of the country, after France.

13 One of the first outcomes is that SAIMI has played an active role in development of the boat building and ship building apprenticeship, which will be registered with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations. The Ship Building qualification is a first for South Africa, and will succeed the outdated Shipwright apprenticeship. The apprenticeships include a recognition of prior learning component to allow people who have learned “on the job” to obtain formal recognition of their skills.

Mentorship is vital for the transfer of expertise to young people entering the industry – SAIMI facilitates mentorships for artisans through partnerships with SETAs, Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges and industry partners.

Transformation and education and training are critical for the boat and ship building industry to meet local content and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) targets. SAIMI supports the upskilling of black people, youth, and, in particular women and those with disabilities, and is piloting skills training for boat builders and composite trades workers in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry in three provinces.

SAIMI also works at school level, educating youngsters who are making career choices about the opportunities in the maritime sector. It partners with local and international companies to expose youngsters to the industry, and to assist them in their career path.

SAIMI also manages South Africa’s flagship maritime training initiative, the National Cadet Programme, which addresses the need to increase the participation of South Africans working as professional mariners on both foreign and locally-owned vessels. The programme offers practical training and training berths in partnership with more than a dozen shipping lines, enabling students to obtain an internationally-recognised Certificate of Competency (CoC) as either a Deck Officer or Marine Engineering Officer in accordance with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Convention on the Standards, Training and Certification of Watch-keepers (STCW).

At a tertiary level SAIMI supports research and development through the establishment of research chairs in partnership with Universities across the country. Focus areas include naval architecture and oil and gas exploration.

SAIMI is working with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to implement the Research, Innovation and Knowledge Management Roadmap for the maritime sector in order to strengthen research and technology development capacity, develop an information resource centre for the centre, and offer bursaries and postgraduate study opportunities.

20 In 2014, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) removed sailing from the 2020 Paralympic Games programme. This dramatic move shocked competitive sailors world-wide, but more so the sailors with disabilities. Sailors with disabilities is one of the few sports in which all sailors irrespective of their degree of abilities can participate on equal terms.

Sailing was first introduced to the Paralympic Games at the Atlanta 1996 Games, but only as a sport to promote it – in other words the athletes did not compete for any medals. It became a medal sport at the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games.

The Para World Sailing Committee who is responsible for sailing people with disabilities worldwide, was completely blindsided by the IPC’s decision. According to the IPC, sailing was dropped as it did not meet their (the IPC Handbook’s) minimum criteria for worldwide reach. The Para World Sailing Committee clearly has their work cut out for them if they want to see sailing reinstituted in the Paralympic Games. The task ahead is huge. One of the challenges includes the prohibitive costs – it is an extremely expensive sport. Moreover, relying on a commercial strategy to develop and grow the sport is a non-starter, as the effective demand for boats both adapted for and/or specifically designed for sailors with disabilities is too low.

A few people in South Africa, are however not resting on their laurels. They are undaunted by the many obstacles and are developing a viable socio-business model that will demonstrate it is not only the profit motive that can deliver efficient solutions to meet people’s needs. Human passion to serve others can indeed be an equal, if not more powerful motivator.

Among the most notable South Africans involved in this quest are people like Peter Jacops, Alex Simonis, Martin Voogd, Russel Volmer, Mandy Latimore and Luan Gray, to name a few.

21 A South African vision for competitive disabled sailing – the SV14 project

South Africa has an incredibly strong boat building industry, with a well-established international focus.

It was therefore no surprise when in 2015, the challenge went out via social media to create a boat designed and built specifically for sailors with disabilities, as well as easily available to them, Cape Town based designers Alex Simonis and Martin Voogd immediately stepped up to the plate. Peter Jacops, a CE inspector (who posted the challenge) met with Alex and Martin as well as Russel Vollmer, an experienced and active sailors with disabilities (and an ex-commodore of the Royal Cape Yacht Club) to discuss how they could start to help South Africa develop and grow competitive disabled sailing with the ultimate aim of assisting the Para World Sailing Committee get the sport back in the Paralympic Games.

Thus the SV14-project was born – a boat that is modern-looking, safe, versatile, comfortable, affordable and easy to handle by either one or two persons.

The SV14 not only meets the rigorous requirements of efficiently and safely pushing through the water, but also provides a comfortable and adaptable seating arrangement to allow sailors with disabilities to sail and enjoy the ride much as an able-bodied person would - Alex and Martin have given our boating industry the edge, by being the first to design a boat to meet both the requirements of disabled sailors for firstly speed with safety and secondly comfort. But there’s more – the SV14 also provides disabled sailors with enormous flexibility – currently none of the boats in this class provide sailors with the flexibility to use their boat with just the mainsail, the mainsail and jib and/or the mainsail, jib and spinnaker. This means that the same boat can be used by a sailor who starts as a beginner, develops to intermediate level and moves on to competitive level.

22 Russel, who is one of the local ‘test-pilots’ for On some of the technical aspects, Simonis the prototype says,”The SV14 demonstrates that says, “This is a 14ft modern yacht which can South Africa is at the ‘top-of-the-tree’ when it be completely built out of 10 sheets of 4’x 8’ comes to boatbuilding for sailors with disabilities.” plywood, 1 sheet of 3’ x 6’ 12 mm steel and Robertson and Caine (one of SA’s top boat 22 x 10’ strips of hardwood.

The amazing thing is sponsor the building of 5 boats – the challenge the boat can be built by your average DIY guy and is to find a competent boat builder who has the with no expensive tools. The materials are also production time and who can sponsor the labour easily available and the plans and cutting patterns time as well. can be downloaded at no cost via the internet.”

Luan Gray, a lifelong sailor and qualified sailing According to Simonis, cutting to 2D CNC is also instructor who is pioneering a Disabled Sailing not a problem. “2D CNC cutting is so widely used Programme in South Africa has also teamed up that this can also be done all around the world in with the SV14 project. Luan and Russel believes a place near you.” that adaptive sailing has huge potential for expansion within Africa as a whole. In short, this is a phenomenal sailing boat that is optimally adapted for disabled sailors to experience being in control of a boat going at What exactly is the SV14? speed, with confidence, but at a fraction of the cost. ‘SV’ stands for Simonis-Voogd who designed this impressive sailing boat and the ‘14’ is the length of Excluding labour cost, and other non-essential the boat, i.e. 14 foot. boat accessories, the boat costs for a basic SV14 (in current terms) is about R50,000.

Today, there are over 70,000 of these craft, an Simonis says they are busy rolling out prototypes achievement that is unequalled in this class in South Africa and Thailand and aim to produce of dinghy. Simonis explains that the Mirror dinghy prototypes in the USA, Mauritius and the can’t simply be replicated in South Africa, or Netherlands. They are managing the building elsewhere in South Africa. of the boats through the website www.sv14. org, where aspirant boatbuilders can get ”Today we do all our design work on computers, information on the costs and where to source making use of 3D solid modeling programs.

The designers also want to introduce sailing boat that can be used not only recreationally a database with information about cost and but competitively in ‘top-class’ events such as suppliers around the world. the Paralymics.

23 Russel is excited about the development part of offers a great opportunity to create more jobs, the project which involves getting more sailors sponsored by public funds through coaching and with disabilities interested in sailing. mentoring people selected to build the boats, but it all requires a coherent, well- funded and well The idea is to possibly start with the Royal Cape thought through strategy using an institution with Yacht Club as a base and include as many the capacity to fully realise the vision. sailors with disabilities as possible in the club’s sailing academy, then expand to other areas in As this cannot be done commercially, a South Africa and later the rest of Africa. programmatic socio-business model, backed by sufficient resources must be designed and This is all contingent on disabled sailing acquiring implemented to give the SV14-project a much- a critical mass of boats and here lies the biggest needed boost in order to give SA’s disabled hurdle – without the sufficient number of adapted sailing the momentum to realise their vision to boats like the SV14, the vision for disabled sailing compete at the highest level. will remain a dream.
