ransnet in some form or other has provided infrastructure support to South Africa and the neighbouring region for well over a century. The company has always followed market trends, laying tracks northwards in the late nineteenth century after gold deposits were discovered in the Transvaal Republic. Since then the company has remained under state ownership and supervision, gaining control of oil pipelines and port authorities while retaining its control of freight rail.

The company also has much potential to boost the skills profile of the communities it operates in through its dedicated localisation programme. In recognition of this need for increased capacity, Garry Pita said: “It is our intention to strengthen our partnerships to derive greater value from our freight logistics system. We intend to play a positive role in achieving economic growth in South Africa.” Investments: Demand for Transnet’s services is increasing continuously and is set to continue for a long time. This is because economic growth on a national scale must be supported by reliable, cost-effective infrastructure if it is to be lasting. Its responsibility to the well-being of the country is reflected through its implementation of Market Demand Strategy (MDS) which focuses on a seven year capital investment, with a projected total spend of R312 billion Pita is keen to inform us that this “excludes at least R500 billion of operational expenditure, including personnel

SAMSA STANDS FOR LEADERSHIP IN THE MARITIME SAFETY AUTHORITY SPHERE.

As an African leader in the Maritime Safety Authority Sphere, SAMSA leads in policy-making and is at the forefront of promoting South Africa’s Maritime Interests. The organisation works to develop South Africa as an International Maritime Centre, while ensuring Maritime Safety, Health and Environmental Protection.


As 80% of world trade is transported via our oceans, the leadership and services that SAMSA provides are invaluable to our economy. Visit www.samsa.org.za to find out more about how SAMSA makes a lasting difference.


SUPPLIER PROFILE

SAMSA The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) was established under the SAMSA Act 5 of 1998. It is the authority charged with the promotion of South Africa’s maritime interests. These interests, rights and obligations are covered under international conventions to which South Africa is party, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS), the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and other maritime related conventions, which SAMSA must protect and promote. These international conventions are administered by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The articulation of the maritime policy imperatives and goals are as follows: • Developing maritime awareness; • Assisting in the creation and fostering of an economic environment for the Maritime Transport Industry which will allow it to compete with other nations; • Contributing to the release of the full potential of the maritime industry in South Africa and to the modernisation of the shipping administration; • Ensuring fair labour practices such as employee rights, job creation and security with acceptable standards of employee health, welfare and safety in the maritime industry. As a result of articulations in the Transport Policy the founding legislation of SAMSA identified three core mandate of the entity as: • To ensure safety of life and property at sea • To prevent and combat pollution from ships in the marine environment • To promote South Africa’s maritime interests Website: www.samsa.org.za

costs.� Aside from developing modern, sustainable infrastructure the MDS aims to create almost 600,000 new jobs by supporting the growth of local businesses. This enthusiasm for investment breaks away from the prerogatives of previous management teams, which Pita described as conservative. Most capital investments are planned to be completed in the next five years, which will be across the company’s freight and freight rail operations. Perhaps the most important of these is to increase rail capacity growth to meet growth in market demand volumes which will see capacity soar from 79.7 megatonnes to 170.2 megatonnes. Increases in coal, iron ore and manganese exports are planned as global demand for these resources increases, especially from China.

Transnet rail freight equates to 80 percent of sub-Saharan Africa’s total freight

Freight Rail: Rail Operations is by far Transnet’s oldest and largest division, and the network has snaked across the Southern half of the African continent for well over a century. With so many decades of growth and innovation behind it, Transnet’s freight rail accounts for almost 80 percent of sub-Saharan Africa’s total freight infrastructure, which helps to explain why the country retains its place as one of the most developed countries on the continent. Past investment and foresight has ensured that the company has the capacity to transport freight from all of the country’s key industries including minerals, automotive, coal and agriculture. Beyond its extensive coverage of South Africa, the company oversees a web of operations which spans 17 other countries in
