South Africa Launches Cruise Liner Terminal Plans For Cape Town And Durban

From Business Day

State logistics group Transnet’s master plan for the development of SA’s ports includes proposed terminals for cruise liners in Cape Town and Durban, the doubling of exports of motor vehicles from Port Elizabeth, and a berth for oil rigs in Saldanha Bay.

The Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) unveiled a multi-decade plan to develop SA’s eight commercial ports to reduce the cost of doing business and improve the flow of goods, it said at the Johannesburg leg of a national road show on Thursday.

Transnet, which owns SA’s ports, rail and pipeline infrastructure, plays a central role in the logistics supply chain in southern Africa. TNPA owns all SA’s ports, although they are operated by Transnet Port Terminals.

Transnet is one of SA’s biggest investors in infrastructure.
