There are few who will dispute that the global recession has profoundly affected the economy and the port. The continued euro zone crisis, the slowdown in Chinese growth and general economic issues have affected port revenues. However, every challenge is only an opportunity awaiting

Durban harbour is not a static place, it is a living, breathing space filled with people, machinery, vehicles, infrastructure, buildings and equipment. It has an influence far beyond its own perimeter as its traffic goes out onto city roads and then national highways. Its trains link it with other cities by rail. It employs thousands of people. Vessels of every type come and go, creating a living network of people, cargo and business. It is constantly being changed, modified, upgraded, expanded and re-planned.

anything else. That is why the Durban Port Fire Department submits itself to regular fire drills. The building is about to go up in flames. Thick smoke pours from the blackened doors of the four-storey tower. Panicked shouts from the third floor indicate someone is trapped inside. In the Port of Durban Fire Station, a bell rings, a siren starts to wail, and a fire-truck rushes to the scene. Two fire crews are already kitted up in their fire-retardant uniforms, tanks of air on their backs, helmets on their heads. While one crew unrolls hoses and connects them to the fire hydrant, the lead fire fighter cautiously approaches the door from the side.

‘The risks are huge’ He waits for water in the hose, feels the door for heat, pushes it open and he and his assistant disappear inside. A water cannon mounted on the roof of the fire truck gushes a four-storey stream of water at the top of the building. The victim is rescued, the fire is brought under control, and another emergency fire drill for the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) fire department has been successfully completed. ‘Safety in a port is vastly different to fire safety in a city,’ says Cyril Kistasamy. As the Port Fire Chief he heads the Port of Durban Fire Department – key to the port’s fire safety. ’In the city you have houses, shopping centres and parks. In a port you have petrochemical storage tanks, industrial processes, flammable goods, ships with cargo, heavy vehicles, containers and warehouses. The risks in a port are huge.’

SCHOOL OF PORTS FEMALE STUDENTS TELL IT ALL: ‘I was the only woman with 26 men for six months’

PREFACE Nearly half the students at Transnet School of Ports (SoP) are women, and among its previous graduates are Precious Dube, Bongi Mbambo and Pinky Zungu. Apart from being the world’s first three licensed female pilots, these ladies have become role models to today’s generation of female students. WRITER Patricia McCracken

Like most of the SoP’s female students, they all have found their way here through high school and tertiary maritime studies courses: Sanele Dlamini (25) and Zandile Mdletshe (29), both from eSikhawini in Richard’s Bay; Cebile Dlamini (27) from Nkwelazane in Empangeni; and Noluthando Khuzwayo (24) from Clermont, Durban. Between them, these young women have already discovered how this career can take them to West Africa, Spain, England, Japan and even Australia.

Why did you choose this career? ZM: I moved to a new high school and the only class with space at the time was maritime studies. I was immediately interested when I saw the ropes, charts and ships in the classroom. When did you start? CD: I became a trainee deckhand on a tugboat in 2006, and I then had the opportunity to become a bursary cadet in 2008. My four-yearold son is at home with my grandmother, who did not approve of my career choice. But now my family is beginning to see that it is making me independent. They are starting to come around. Cebile Dlamini

What certificate are you studying for? NK: The others are already qualified deck officers and I will complete my oral exams for that certificate very soon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I already have a maritime studies diploma from Durban University of Technology. We are all studying now for a tug master certificate and I would love one day to become a pilot. I have a fouryear-old son and a partner.

What is your favourite memory? SD: I am the first in my family to go to sea and my parents were really scared I would drown. So it was great to do shorter coastal voyages to Namibia and make them happy with stories of how beautiful our country looks from the sea.

Sanele Dlamini

What is the most interesting part of SoP? SD: Using the ship-handling simulator for a search-and-rescue exercise was a real eyeopener â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is complicated to work as a team in those conditions. The studying here is hectic and the hand-outs can seem like an overload, but they make sense after you have gone through them properly. We would be lost on a tug without the information we are taught here. What is your jobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest challenge? ZM: The long voyages, especially my first one as a cadet officer of the watch. I was the only woman on the vessel, with 26 men for six months and two weeks! Fortunately, the second time Zandile was on board as well. But it is also wonderful to see different places and learn about different cultures. I loved Trieste in Italy because we had three whole days to explore the food, the lovely buildings and look at the clothes.

SCHOOL OF PORTS HEAD’S PLANS FOR THE FUTURE PREFACE The Transnet School of Ports (SoP) has grown, with nearly 90% of students being black. The positive growth of the SoP allows for Transnet to plan its development in to a Transnet University. This will allow divisions to train together and assist in the advanced training, allowing support for other African ports.

Mariners can earn twice as much on the water as they do in the classroom, so it is not always easy to recruit staff. At all levels, though, our people are immensely enthusiastic, and love teaching. That despite they work long hours to prepare courses.

No longer a mythical or far-off problem, piracy along the African coastline has become significant enough for the South African navy to take an active role in countering the threats its poses. The International Chamber of Commerce International Maritime Bureau annual report 2011 stated that in the decade to 2007, only 23% of global piracy attacks happened along the African coastline. By 2008 this figure had risen to 60% and in 2011 the region accounted for 67% of piracy attacks - or 293 of the 439 reported incidents. Significantly, 237 of the African attacks were attributed to Somali pirates and effective June 2012, those pirates held hostage 12 vessels and 178 people.

rican piracy. In March 2012, Chief Director Bernhard Hein Teuteberg said the navy was prepared to deal with the threat of piracy moving south towards South Africa. According to him, fighting pirates should be a collective Southern African Development Community (SADC) security issue. In this light, he proposed a maritime zone and regional maritime domain zone centres to jointly exchange information. His ideas have resonated and since April, information relating to vessels moving around South Africa is being collated in centralised systems as a means for sharing information.

routing trade lines. The knock-on effect may be increasing costs of transporting goods, which could translate into higher prices paid by consumers. On another level, Fouché estimated the Seychelles economy was losing US$6 million (ZAR50.3 million) annually from its fishing and tourism industries and Kenya US$414 million (ZAR3.47 billion) in trade. Essentially, the government’s actions rather than just words decrying the escalation in piracy along the east African coastline - reflect the extent to which there is commitment to preventing the scourge from drifting southwards and affecting the local economy like it has already done to those in the piracy pathway.

The key players in a nutshell The US: Though declining, the US remains the world’s top military power. Putting an emphasis on this position, the country is calling for sanction against Iran – accusing the country of using its nuclear programme for weapons. Iran says its programme will be used for generating energy. The US is South Africa’s third trade partner and fourth biggest export market, at ZAR61 billion in 2011. It in addition, is a vital source of foreign funding for government and commercial projects, as well as aid for sectors such as health and education. The EU: Lining up alongside the US, the EU agreed to stop importing Iranian crude from July 2012.

Foxes prepare for all possibilities. Clem Sunter was born in England in 1944 and moved to Zambia in 1971 to work for Anglo American. Two years later, he was transferred to Johannesburg. In the 1980s, Clem established a scenario planning function in Anglo. Well-known is his presentation ‘The World and South Africa in the 1990s’, in which he offered two scenarios for South Africa: the ‘High Road’ of negotiation leading to a political settlement, and the ‘Low Road’ of confrontation leading to civil war. South Africa took the High Road. Since 1987, Clem wrote 14 books, including ‘The Mind of a Fox’ (2001), co-written with Chantell Ilbury. It hit the shelves before 9/11, and anticipated a major terrorist attack on a western city.
