Liquid Bulk Terminal operator sought for Cape Town

South African ports continue to show commitment to PPPs

SOUTH AFRICA: With increasing pressure from port users and maritime stakeholders to demonstrate a commitment to improving efficiencies within the South African port system, Transnet National Ports Authority this month issued a call for proposals for the appointment of a terminal operator at the Port of Cape Town.

This follows the call for interested parties to respond to other similar concession opportunities in the Port of Richards Bay, Port of Cape Town and the Port of Durban since April 2023.

The latest tender requires the successful bidder to acquire, operate, maintain, refurbish or construct and transfer a liquid bulk terminal for a 25-year concession period at the Port of Cape Town.

“The issuance of the RFP is aligned to TNPA’s mandate to facilitate the provision of port services and facilities with emphasis on port revenue diversification, job creation, infrastructure development and collaboration with the private sector to foster sustainable economic growth. The Liquid Bulk Precinct within the Port of Cape Town enables the efficient movement of liquefied cargo across South Africa and beyond, facilitating international trade and ensuring security of supply,” said Ophelia Shabane, Acting Port Manager, Port of Cape Town.

The proposed facility is a brownfield site linked to Eastern Mole and Tanker Basin berths within the port’s Liquid Bulk Precinct. The berths within this precinct are classified as common user berths for liquid bulk commodities and the advertised site has a total footprint of approximately 18,722 square metres.

Eastern Mole 1, which was previously used for FFS bunkering operations is no longer operational, while Eastern Mole 2, Tanker Basin 1 and 2 are common user liquid bulk berths shared by Astron Energy, Burgan Cape Terminals, FFS Refiners, and FFS Tank Terminals Common commodities handled.

The port authority will hold a briefing for the project next week and the tender will close in mid-July. Meanwhile a tender calling for proposals to fund, design, develop, construct, operate, maintain and transfer a Liquid Bulk and/or Green Fuel Terminal for a concession period of 25 years will close next week after the deadline was extended from January 2024.
