Units ‘snapped up’ at new Dube Tradeport By Alan Peat Units at the private sector agents building, only 50-metres from the cargo terminal of the new King Shaka International Airport in KwaZulu Natal (due to open in May next year), “are selling like hot cakes”, according to Hamish Erskine of Dube Tradeport – the provincial authority body responsible for the cargo side of the new airport

facility. Since these 24 standard units making up the 12 000-m 2 airfreight logistics building – 9 000-m 2 in warehousing and 3 000-m 2 in office space – were put up for grabs in August, 19 units have been let, and only five remain, he told FTW. “There is strong interest in the remainder,” he said, “and we are convinced we’ll fill the

building soon.” This followed confirmation from Dube that the general cargo section of the 15 000-m 2 airport cargo terminal – aimed at handling an initial capacity of 100 000-tonnes of cargo a year – is to be operated by the Frenchbased terminal operators, Worldwide Freight Services (WFS). The section of the terminal

reserved for private airline operators is to be shared between South African Airways (SAA), Express Air Services (EAS) and Airlink International Cargo. WFS has 124 stations operating around the world, and King Shaka is the location of its second terminal in Africa – following its opening in Nairobi Airport, Kenya. “We selected this company,”

said Erskine, “because they have established similar strategies to our own – and are able to handle any terminal, from 20 000 to 100 000-tonnes capacity. According to Erskine, the R8-billion airport development, of which the cargo section is part, must be seen as a longterm investment. “It is designed to satisfy KwaZulu Natal’s air cargo needs for the next 60 years,” he said.

MSC first to test the water By Ed Richardson MSC will be the first shipping line to make a commercial call on the port of Ngqura, according to Transnet Port Terminals’ chief executive officer Tau Morwe. The ship was due to call as soon as September 30. Speaking at a business breakfast in Port Elizabeth last week, Morwe said one of the

first tasks of newly appointed chief operating officer Nosipho Damasane was to meet with top MSC management in Geneva to finalise the deal. Other shipping lines that spoke to FTW on condition of anonymity said they were watching the developments with interest, and would start services in and out of Ngqura after the inevitable teething To page 12

Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) successfully ran a test train earlier this month on the Ngqura main line, declaring it safe for operations.

Beitbridge back to normal … but urgent action needed to improve performance By Alan Peat The phone lines to FTW have been busy recently as readers called in to get an update on the latest conditions at the SA-Zimbabwe border post of Beitbridge – which built up a lengthy queue of anything up to 50 trucks when the SA Revenue Service (Sars) customs personnel went on strike recently. It remained in a congested state for some days after the strike had supposedly finished, but working to rule seemed to be the name of the game. The latest information from Barney Curtis, adviser to the Road Freight Association (RFA) on overborder issues, and executive officer of the Federation of Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta), is that it’s back to normal. “That is as normal as can be

expected under the circumstances.” His definition of normal, he added, was that Beitbridge was “very up-anddown” as far as performance was concerned. “We all know that Beitbridge is heading for disaster,” Curtis said, “unless something new is done about it.” And that is currently being worked out by a combined team representing the private sector transport industry and the authorities – working under the auspices of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The situation at Beitbridge is only going to get worse until this body completes its study and makes conclusions on the medium- to long-term future of the border post, Curtis told FTW. “That’s going to be a major action plan going forward,” he said.

Industry reflects on ‘toughest year in two decades’ Skilled staff have to be more realistic in terms of salary demands

Is SA following the UK, where press reports indicate that recruitment in the British freight industry is recovering? Hiring employees in the freight industry is back on

operating at a variety of levels told the publication that there had been a recent uplift in enquiries from freight forwarders and logistics companies looking to expand headcounts. For example, Chas Dowton, director at

a situation in last December, January and February where companies were laying off staff, to having the past three months of continuous improvement.” Larry Woelk, business development director at BiS George Henderson, added

the agenda again, reported International Freighting Weekly (IFW), after a pickup in business over the past couple of months. Recruitment companies

specialist freight recruitment agency First Choice, said: “This has probably been one of the toughest years – certainly worse than after 9/11 – and we’ve gone from

good than bad.” Much of what is written in the article applied to RibtonTurner Recruitment here in SA, according to Dr Lynn Ribton-Turner. “2009 has been the toughest year that I have experienced in the past 20 years,” she told FTW. “There have been numerous requests during 2009 for sales staff – but operational requirements have been totally flat.” It has been her company’s experience that there are more applicants and less quality staff available. It appears that SA lags behind the recovery in Europe, according to RibtonTurner. “We entered the recession some months behind them,” she told FTW, “and we have not echoed the experience or our UK counterparts that the market is ‘perkier’ or that there is a ‘feel-good’ factor. “Since we are already moving towards the end of the year we don't expect to find much life in the recruitment market until February/March next year. If there are signs of life earlier we would be delighted.” Feedback from Sabina Botti, marketing manager of Lee Botti & Associates, followed similar lines. “The first three months of the year proved to be tough,” she told FTW, “with many retrenchments taking place, initially at management level and then filtering down throughout the company.

“What’s happened is that a lot of companies are really stretched after making redundancies earlier in the year,” Botti said. Both our commentators agree that, as soon as the workload picks up, companies start hiring temporary staff to cover that work until they are ready to hire permanently. But morale within the industry was at an all time low, according to Botti. “We saw positive changes from May,” she said, “with many clients having been through their retrenchments and now needing the extra staff to cope. “However there are presently still major retrenchments taking place in several of the larger companies. “We have, however, noted that there is an abundance of skilled people on the market who are having to be more realistic in terms of salary demands and working conditions - which has proved to be good for the employer.” Botti also noted that the skills shortage of the past was no longer, and employers now had a choice of top talent to choose from. Her expectations are that, although the market is not back at the buoyant stage it once was, Lee Botti & Associates is seeing positive signs – and, more importantly, decisions are being made.

AIRFREIGHT EXPRESS

Dube airport will generate new volumes of cargo ‘Airlink preparing for the future’ By Alan Peat Although it will initially share the private sector section of the Dube Tradeport cargo terminal at the new King Shaka Airport in KwaZulu Natal with only two other airline cargo operators, Airlink Cargo is viewing this space as an investment for future growth, according to MD Alwyn Rautenbach. “We have booked space,” he told FTW. “But the initial capacity of the terminal (100 000-tonnes) will be too much for the amount of cargo that will be going through – even for express air cargo. “So we will probably share it with Express Air Services (EAS) – which, along with SAA and ourselves, makes up the three lessees in this section of the terminal.” Rautenbach expected a relatively slow start to the growth in cargo at the airport, with only a limited declared

interest from international airlines as yet. “However,” he said, “Emirates is starting to operate a service to the present international airport in Durban in October, so there will be some cargo to begin with.” But Rautenbach is confident that the new airport, and its ability to accommodate the largest of wide-body aircraft (which the old airport can’t handle), will generate new volumes of air cargo in the province. “The terminal caters for much more than people currently need,” he said, “but they can have expectations for the future.” He noted that there was already noticeable industrial development in the likes of warehouse facilities on the way up north from Durban to this La Mercy area where the airport is located, and this in itself has promise for future movement of goods to and

from the terminal. “It’s difficult to accurately predict what will happen,” Rautenbach added, “but we

certainly hope to grow our market there. “It will also benefit from being a brand-new, added

transport service for Durban – a city which is currently dominated by the sea and road modes.”

Emirates adding Durban flight to present airport ... hopes of increase in interest from international players.

Glum exporters track strengthening rand By Alan Peat Although the rand has been gaining serious strength against the currencies of our major trading partners – particularly against the US dollar – for the past six weeks, not everybody is happy. Importers and local buyers of imported goods are happy, as prices ease back, and help to keep inflation in check. But most SA exporters have glum faces, especially where their export products have already been battling to stay pricecompetitive in the fiercely competitive global market. The fact that the rand slipped below the R8/US$ more than a week before the end of August, and has remained firmly in the sevens, has consistently put pressure on

the price-competitiveness of SA exports. Even SA Reserve Bank (SARB) governor Tito Mboweni has expressed worry about this on-going rand strength – warning that the central bank was “increasingly concerned” about the effect on SA. “This matter is receiving our attention,” he said after the bank’s AGM, at a time when the rand had just hit a new 13-month peak at R7.29/ US$ – adding to the big gains already this year, eroding export competitiveness and threatening the potential economic recovery. So the rand is too strong. Where should it be? “Up to now,” said Standard Bank economist, Dr Johan Botha, “R8.50/US$ has been

considered a neutral exchange rate – where it doesn’t have too negative an effect on either import or export costs, or on inflation.” Although he acknowledged that Mboweni had been talking about the rand being too strong, he declared it was

not clear how the SARB would look at it because it’s good for SA inflation. And, although the currency is strong, it is not so much the rand performing, as it’s the US dollar not performing – and it is as yet not apparent where that will go.

Ministers fail to resolve thorny EPA issue Concern that EU exporters will use Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland as transhipment points By James Hall Mbabane – The issue of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA) remained sensitive and unresolved following a meeting of finance and commerce ministers from the five nations comprising the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) in Swaziland last week. EPAs signed by Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland with

the EU have been denounced by South Africa as unbalanced. The agreements require freeflow of African and European goods, but the former’s volumes hardly match the latter’s. South Africa has noted that European Union goods entering Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland would be cheaper than similar goods shipped directly to South Africa because they would

not be subject to taxes of importing countries. SA authorities fear that these cheaper goods would find their way into SA, with Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland merely being used by European exporters as transhipment points to get goods into SA. At one point, SA customs authorities threatened to tighten customs controls within the region, which may hamper the already slow processing of

cargo through national border posts. The African Trade Network has denounced EPAs as “EU re-colonialisation,” and noted that trade liberalisation enacted worldwide over the past two decades had seen a 50% drop in African exports from 6% of world trade to 3% this year. Ministers who spoke to FTW at the Sacu meet said other factors besides trade

liberalisation also accounted for the drop-off in African global trade, but they agreed that there was a conflict between individual Sacu member states signing EPAs rather than negotiating in partnership with Sacu. “There’s an anomaly. What use is there maintaining a trade bloc if in practice every country looks after its own interests first?” said one official.

US tightens up security for vessels from Africa By Martin Rushmere Los Angeles: Security at African ports is being looked at more closely as the US continues to keep a tight lid on possible terrorism sources. The Democratic Republic of Congo is now listed by the Coast Guard as one of 12 maritime

countries around the world (half of them in Africa) that “do not maintain effective antiterrorist measures". Any ship entering the US that has been at Congo ports in one of its last five calls has to take extra security precautions when in a Congo port, equivalent to Marsec (Maritime

Security) Level 2 in the US and Security Level 2 under the Solas (Safety Of Life At Sea) convention adopted by the International Maritime Organisation and signed by all flag states. These include: • Guards and lookouts have to be posted to ensure all round visibility and to control all access points

on the ship; • Thorough checks of goods and baggage, including X-ray screening where possible; • Checking vehicles for bombs and weapons. This is in addition to a range of other procedures that have to be undertaken like reporting actions taken to the Coast Guard

Captain of the port before arriving in the US. Says a Washington DC maritime law and security consultant, Dennis Bryant: “Make no mistake. The authorities in the US are very serious about security precautions and the master and/or owner can land up in jail if the procedures are not followed."

Morwe condemns lack of maritime training

Airfreight hopes alive for peak season upturn

‘Ngqura needs support of logistics sector’ By Ed Richardson The Port of Ngqura will not realise its potential unless it is supported by the logistics sector, shipping companies, local business, the municipality, regional authorities and tertiary institutions – all of which have a

role to play in developing the port and its surroundings into a major hub over the next 10 to 15 years. That was the message from Transnet Port Terminals CEO Tau Morwe when he addressed a business briefing in Port Elizabeth last week.

He was critical of universities and tertiary institutions around the country which had, so far, failed to introduce maritime courses. As a result, the planners for Ngqura had to be brought in from Hamburg. Skills development was one of the most important prerequisites,

he stressed. “Ngqura requires different skills to the other ports.” A start had been made by raising the minimum educational requirements for operators in the port, but much more had to be done at all stages of the private and public sector logistics chains, he said.

Three-way staff shuffle at TPT

Nosipho Damasane ... new COO.

FTW0016SP

There has been a three-way switch around of senior management at Transnet Port Terminals (TPT). The first move was the departure of chief operating officer (COO) Solly Letsoalo to take over a private sector MD role. This after a five-year stint with TPT where he initially made his name as business unit executive at the Durban container terminal – then being promoted to GM, and then COO (FTW September 25,

2009). It was immediately announced that replacement COO from October 1 would be current GM (sales, logistics and commercial) Nosipho Damasane. She started her career with Transnet in 1998 as East London port manager before moving to TPT as GM for operations at the Eastern Cape terminals, followed since 2007 as the head of her sales, logistics and commercial. According to CE Tau

Morwe, the new holder of Damasane’s post will be current executive commercial manager, Don Maclean, who will initially be appointed in an acting capacity. Maclean is a qualifed chartered accountant (CA) with 11years’ experience in industrial development and project finance. Morwe told FTW that the management changes would maintain business continuity at TPT.

‘It has been a tough time for airfreight recently, but British Airways World Cargo (BAWC) is confidently planning and preparing for a peak season ahead – expected to last from end-October through to March next year, according to Johannesburg-based area commercial manager for Southern Africa, Cayley Buyskes. The signs of the times are looking favourable, she told FTW. “We’ve definitely seen an increase over the past couple of weeks,” she said, “and indications from our agents are that there will be a peak season going forward.” BAWC’s initial focus is on an encouraging uplift in amount of available perishable exports. “But,” added Buyskes, “we also have high hopes of increasing general cargo over the next couple of months.” She did not venture to suggest that this expected overall growth in cargo volumes would be sustainable, but has no doubt that there will be a peak season.

Hefty duty charges shock FTW reader Another sad story of T-shirt purchases gone wrong By Alan Peat

Aubrey Bowles … plans to extend network further into East and West Africa.

Elliott adds Dar to office network Following the launch of a road route from the south of Africa to Dar es Salaam in order to bypass congestion in the Tanzanian port, Elliott International has now opened an office in Dar es Salaam to service increased business from expatriates and citizens. The operation is headed by Francisca Mawala, a returning Tanzanian citizen who has worked for Elliott International in Francistown for over 10 years. The company has also set up a centre to co-ordinate moves of goods into and out of Africa and around the continent. Based at its long-established branch in Gaborone Botswana, the centre is managed by Aubrey

Bowles. “No matter how many border crossings or service partners are involved in a move, our client deals only with this office and receives only one invoice covering door to door removals,” says Bowles. “We will be extending our physical presence further into East and West Africa in the near future,” says Bowles, who notes that business in Africa is booming. “Zimbabwe is preparing for massive investment, particularly in the mining sector. Nigeria is seeking partners for its banking and petroleum industries. Other countries in the sub Saharan region are also looking for business partnerships.”

THE ONLY INDEPENDENT RO-RO CONTAINER SERVICE IN THE TRADE WITH OWN CONNECTING SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE MEDITERRANEAN

One of our readers has appealed to FTW for help, after her sister was hit for import duty on the purchase of six T-shirts from the US. This follows a similar appeal from FTW’s own receptionist, Lorraine da Fonseca, who had been knobbled with a similar duty imposed on a present of a Real Madrid soccer shirt from a European uncle. And our answer to new complainant, Yeshika Singh, is the same negative bad news we forwarded to Lorraine – there’s nothing you can do about the imposition of duty, because your sister’s T-shirts are considered an import, and import duty is due. “The amount for the T-shirts is R1 220 (including shipping) and they are NOT sold in South Africa,” said Yeshika. “Please let me know what the customs’ duty for the T-shirts would be, as they are charging my sister an amount of R715 – more than half of what is being paid for the shirts.” FTW put this puzzle before Andre Hattingh, partner of Customs Refund Specialists (CRS) in Durban. It’s a complicated issue, he said – first of all requiring the actual cost of the item(s), excluding the shipping cost. “The duty portion,” he added, “is based on this product cost. And, being textile and clothing items, they will be faced with duty of about 40%, compounded by value-added tax (VAT) at 14%.” And the VAT amount is also no simple matter. “It is worked out against the ATV (actual true value),”

Hattingh said. “This is the SA rand value of the goods, plus 10% as a common factor, plus the duty amount. That all adds up to the ATV – on which that 14% is levied.” But there are still other things to be added before you reach a final charge – like the Post Office handling and customs duty assessment fees. “There’s one thing you can say for sure,” Hattingh told FTW. “It will certainly be well over half the value of the T-shirts, I can assure you.” It doesn’t matter that these T-shirts are not available in SA. The label, design, material and colour differences don’t detract from the fact that they are T-shirts – and such clothing items ARE made here. They fall into the category of light goods, and as such, attract a duty at 40% of the customs value of the import goods, according to Hattingh.

And he doesn’t advise Yeshika to try any sort of legal action. “The cost for a legal appeal,” he said, “is horrendous. And nobody is going to touch such a case when the value is only just over a thousand rand.” Hattingh also feels that she doesn’t have much of a case. “These T-shirts are imports, and import duty must be paid,” he said. “It’s in the book, and there’s nothing you can do about that.” Adrian Lackay, Sars customs spokesman, agreed. He said that customs regretted Yeshika’s discontent, but its hands are tied in such a matter. “As your customs expert said, it all goes by the book,” he told FTW. “But certainly, customs considers all cases on their individual merit. And, if Yeshika can present a reasoned case to the commissioner, it would certainly be considered.”

‘Be aware of inadvertently building up debt to the state’ We continue to see situations where companies have inadvertently built up a considerable debt to the State without the possibility of recovering these amounts in the market place. This is particularly the case with clearances under the third and fourth Schedule to the Customs Act. Rebate Item 412.07, which deals with the rebate of duty on goods destroyed with the permission of the Commissioner, is a case in point. How many companies are aware that duty is payable on the remaining waste or scrap that enters home consumption subsequent to destruction of the goods? For example, the Commissioner may authorise the destruction of a motor vehicle. Once the vehicle is destroyed the scrap is sorted according to constituent

material and sold. Duty is payable on the subsequent proceeds of the sale of the scrap. Another example is industrial rebate items under the third Schedule requiring permits from the International Trade Administration Commission (Itac). We have recently been contacted by registered industrial rebate manufacturers who have been "scheduled" for millions of rands in duty for failure to produce the required Itac permit. Customs also failed to detect the absence of these permits at time of Customs clearance. These manufacturers were not aware of an amendment to a particular item under the fourth Schedule which called for a permit from Itac. It is equally important for clearing and forwarding

agents to ensure that their clients are registered with Sars under the third Schedule prior to submission of clearance documents under this Schedule. It is highly recommended that documentary proof of registration with Sars Customs is called for – otherwise hefty penalties can be expected. Wherever duty is rebated at time of Customs clearance, it is of utmost importance to ensure that all aspects of the Customs and ITA Acts and the schedules to these are adhered to. Where large amounts of money are involved it is certainly worth spending a little more on hiring the services of a reputable firm specialising in Customs matters to conduct regular audits on your Customs clearance documentation in order to ensure Customs compliance.

Evasive measures prevent 88 hijacking attempts By Martin Rushmere Los Angeles: Piracy in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden is bound to increase with the end of the monsoon season, warn the US navy and the international naval force in the Indian Ocean. Attacks are just as likely to take place between the Seychelles and the east coast of Africa, with most incidents occurring at first and last light. The US takes a more aggressive approach to security, allowing the use of armed guards on US flagged vessels. This is discouraged by other countries. Says the US Navy: "Demonstrate a willingness to defend yourself. Do not present an attractive target for attack and do not surrender immediately at the first sign of a threat."

Both forces agree on other measures. These include moving at maximum speed, posting extra lookouts (aft lookouts must watch out for small boats approaching from astern), avoiding small boats, maintaining a full visual and radar watch. Physical measures suggested are razor wire strung round the vulnerable areas of the vessel, along with the use of fire hoses, flares and sonic alarms. Since January, evasive manoeuvres have prevented 88 hijacking attempts. This year, there have been 138 pirate attacks on commercial vessels, of which 33 were successful. In 2008, there were 122 pirate attacks with 42 successes. In 2007, there were 19 pirate attacks with 12 successes.

Wool exports to China reach record levels By Ray Smuts China’s dependence on African raw materials to keep its vast economic machine ticking over stretches much further than oil, iron ore and coal – including textiles, for example, and making it the world’s biggest importer of South African wool. Latest statistics reaching FTW from Cape Wools SA reveal that exports to China reached record levels, rising from 14 million kg in the 2007/08 season to 21.2 million in 2008/09 and accounting for revenues of R1.3 billion. China’s market share,

as a percentage of free on board value of all South African wool exported, rose to 46.7%, from 31.3% in 2007/08. Even so, the Chinese textile industry has also been hard hit by the global economic slump as demand from traditional markets such as Japan, the US, Europe and South Korea waned, forcing wool textile manufacturers to focus on a domestic market fuelled by a government financial stimulus. What is more, Chinese manufacturers have switched from knitwear to exporting more expensive woven wool garments, hence an increase

in fine merino wool imports from South Africa and Australia. Cape Wools SA’s Ona Viljoen says China primarily imports unprocessed grease wool (that shorn from the animal’s back), and mainly from the Merino sheep. As to why the demand is for unprocessed product she says: “We have the technology but cannot compete with the Chinese on price since they have cheaper labour and so on. And the same scenario applies to other countries in Europe and Australia where many processing plants were forced to close.” As to the outlook for South African wool exports, Vijoen says: “We are expecting a better season than last in view of the predicted improvement in the world economy. “There are also indications that the continued decline in world apparel production and subsequent supply concerns will support the market.” South Africa’s approximately 6 000 wool farmers export around 48 million kilograms a year. The major markets aside from China include Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, India, United Kingdom, South Korea and Mauritius. This being a free-market situation, exports are not co-ordinated, each exporter rather serving an own client base.

MSC first

By Alan Peat In Rotterdam, September 23 was an historic day for the global freight industry as 15 countries officially signed the “Rotterdam Rules” into being. Bearing the clumsy title of “The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods (Wholly or Partly) by Sea”, the official word is that they will: • Provide legal certainty and uniformity in the carriage of goods by sea and connected transport (And, with about 90% of world trade being transported by sea, global shipping certainly needs to be governed by widely accepted international rules); • Modernise the liability regimes that currently apply to the carriage of goods by sea; • Cover multimodal carriage of goods that involve a sea leg, while respecting existing unimodal conventions – which also regulate some aspects of multimodal transport; • Address gaps that presently exist, including the important introduction of provisions to facilitate e-commerce; • Strike a balance between the interests of shipowners and shippers in terms of liabilities and the allocation of risks between both parties. Acting as an on-the-spot correspondent for FTW was

Andrew Robinson, maritime legal specialist at Durban-based Deneys Reitz – invited to the signing ceremony as part of the Comite Maritime Internationale delegation in his capacity as president of the Maritime Law Association (MLA) of South Africa. Signatories to the convention were: Congo, Denmark, Gabon, Ghana, Greece, Guinea, The Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Poland, Senegal, Spain, Switzerland, Togo and the USA. “It is anticipated that many more states will ratify the Rotterdam Rules in due course,” he added, “and that they will incorporate the rules into domestic legislation. “It will be some time, therefore, before the Rotterdam Rules will apply as between contracting states.” These new rules (RRules) seek to update the Hague Rules of 1924, according to Robinson. “Those Hague Rules really reflected a liability regime developed in 1894 in response to the ship-owners contracting out of all liability – which they had to do because they were strictly liable under the English common law,” he said. “The Visby protocol of 1968 did not really change the position much, and the Hamburg Rules of 1978 were never widely accepted - as they did not break with the old

rules in a suitably sufficient way.” The latest on the local scene is that SA has incorporated the Hague-Visby Rules into its domestic legislation through the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1986. But the RRules take into account the modernisation of transport, according to Robinson. “Not just the importance of containerisation,” he said, “but also electronic bills of lading; the extended control that ship-owners have in fact over the seaworthiness of the ship; financial levels of liability; the need for some flexibility in the wording of contracts (especially with regard to dispute resolution clauses); and the expanded notion of how goods should be delivered when either negotiated or non-negotiated sea transport documents are used. “The question of jurisdiction for disputes has also been simplified.” In simple terms, the aim of the drafters of the RRules was to make doing business easier and cheaper – and certain provisions have been drafted with that in mind. “It is widely accepted that they are not perfect in every way,” said Robinson. “The RRules are, after all, a negotiated compromise.”

can continue operating. Morwe said Port Elizabeth would continue to be needed as a port as the economy started growing again. Referring to a campaign to move the manganese ore facility, which is gaining momentum, Morwe said the terminal would be moved, but it had not yet been decided whether to reroute the manganese through Ngqura or Saldanha Bay. Ngqura was originally designed as a bulk port, but with its designation as a container hub for South Africa, the emphasis was now on the container berths Morwe told FTW. Construction is already under way on two new berths, with a further eight in the pipeline. The Ngqura container terminal will be able to accommodate Ultra-Mega ships carrying 6000 to 10 000 TEUs. It will be able to handle in excess of 100 container moves per ship working hour with sufficient stack and berth capacity to cater for future growth up to two million TEUs, according to Transnet.

The RRules take into account the modernisation of transport.

From page 1 problems had been overcome. One of the lines was considering moving empty containers first in order to limit losses due to the containers being damaged in the first months of operations. However, one PE-based shipper predicts that “we will all be using Ngqura within six months”. This, as Morwe admitted, raises questions around the future of the Port of Port Elizabeth. Port Elizabeth would become the “premier automotive terminal in the country,” he predicted. Other developments would depend on discussions between the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, shipping companies, business and Transnet. He said it was “incumbent upon stakeholders to ensure they have a role in what happens in the port.” Transnet has identified the need for two more post-panamax ship to shore gantries for the Port of Port Elizabeth in order to ensure that the container terminal
