  • Capacity Creation Is the Top Priority in South African Ports Transnet Port Terminals, Durban, South Africa
    CONTAINER HANDLING Capacity creation is the top priority in South African ports Transnet Port Terminals, Durban, South Africa Nowhere in South Africa is the rapid upsurge in economic activity and growth more evident than in its commercial ports. Historically neglected and under-funded prior to 1994, during the country’s economic sanctions and apartheid era, South Africa’s ports have since been experiencing booming business, and state- owned transport and freight entity Transnet Limited has been at pains to ensure it creates capacity ahead of demand in its busy terminals. Introduction Transnet’s port operating division, Transnet Port Terminals, has steadily increased its overall investment from a mere R131m in 2001/02 (GBP £10.6 billion) to more than R3.2bn (£259 million in 2008/09.) The division will now spend R6.5 billion (approximately £528 million) over the next five years on capital investments. These Ngqura container terminal’s rail-mounted gantry cranes with Liebherr ship-to- shore cranes in the background. are aimed at reducing the cost of doing business and enhancing its competitiveness as a global logistics player. Approximately 31 per cent of this will go towards increasing capacity, to achieve the company’s growth initiatives. Beefing up box capacity Capacity expansion programmes are currently underway at the major container terminals in South Africa. In Durban and Cape Town, as well as at the new deepwater Port of Ngqura, which launched to commercial trade in October 2009, such projects will assist in meeting the target of a 32 per cent increase in container capacity over five years, with spare capacity to deal with any growth in volumes.

  • QUANTIFYING FREIGHT TRANSPORT VOLUMES in DEVELOPING REGIONS: LESSONS LEARNT from SOUTH AFRICA's EXPERIENCE DURING the 20Th CENTURY
    QUANTIFYING FREIGHT TRANSPORT VOLUMES IN DEVELOPING REGIONS: LESSONS LEARNT FROM SOUTH AFRICA'S EXPERIENCE DURING THE 20th CENTURY JH Havenga & WJ Pienaar ABSTRACT A number of attempts were made during the 20th century to develop national freight flow information for South Africa. This paper discusses these contributions and attempts to identify the major reasons why the research did not give rise to long-term strategic infrastructure planning. It is important to learn these lessons to avoid making the same mistakes during the critical large-scale infrastructure investments that are unfolding in the first half of the 21st century. The paper starts with an overview of the development of South Africa’s surface freight transport infrastructure, and then provides a cross-country comparison of South Africa’s key freight indicators. This serves to underscore the importance of a long-term approach to such infrastructure investment. Keywords: freight, information, South Africa, planning JEL classification: N01, N17 1. INTRODUCTION The freight transport infrastructure challenges that South Africa faces at the start of the 21st century – including an investment backlog and limited road-rail collaboration – can be traced back to myopic decisions that were made in the past century (Havenga, Pienaar, and Simpson, 2011). Those decisions were the consequence of the historical absence of a long- term, strategic view of infrastructure planning exacerbated by politically-motivated agendas. In 1928, and before formal road transport regulation, Frankel (1928, 113) reported: Instead of the decisions on new railway construction being left to an expert body acting on commercial principles and co-ordinating the expenditure on it with the capital expenditure necessary in other directions, not only is the amount to be spent every year decided mainly by the Minister of Railways and Harbours and the Government, but it appears that even the decision as to which of the proposed lines of railway are to be constructed depends largely on the wishes of the Minister.

  • Freight Rail 2018 TRANSNET Freight Rail 2
    A A U D Freight Rail 2018 TRANSNET Freight Rail 2 Highlights • Transnet Freight Rail has continued to actively seek opportunities to service existing customers and new customers, which has resulted in a 3,3% volume growth compared to 2,3% in the previous financial year. This was despite the subdued economic climate characterised by low GDP growth and lower than expected commodity prices. This commendable performance was accomplished through collaboration with customers and value chain partners as well as dedication and a continuous improvement culture embedded in accountability among employees. • Export coal line railed 77 mt against the target of 76 mt. This reflects a historic tonnage performance achievement for this corridor since its opening in 1977, and surpasses the record of 76,2 mt achieved in 2015. • General freight tonnages recorded 3,1% growth against the previous financial year (well above the national economic growth rate). This is evidence of the successful implementation of the road-to-rail strategy, which targets rail-friendly traffic in various market segments to grow rail volumes and market share. General freight commodities that contributed to this growth included the following: – Non-ferrous metals achieved a 115% improvement, recording volumes of 2,8 mt against the target of 1,3 mt. – The Manganese portfolio achieved a record throughput of 13,7 mt against a target of 11,1 mt. This represents an improvement of 23,7% against target and growth of 13,5% year on year (2017: 12,1 mt). – The Containers and Automotive business unit exceeded the volume target of 9,0 mt by railing 9,8 mt, reflecting an improvement of 9,0% against target and growth of 7,4% year on year (2017: 9,2 mt).
