Name of the Project
Port of Cape Town liquid bulk terminal.
Location
Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
Project Owner/s
State-owned freight and logistics company Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA).
TNPA signed a terminal operator agreement with FFS Tank Terminals to operate and maintain a liquid bulk terminal at the Port of Cape Town for a 25-year concession period in October 2025.
Project Description
The new concession will lead to the refurbishment of terminal infrastructure and upgrades aimed at improving operational efficiency at the Port of Cape Town and ensure the security of supply to local industries.
Once operational, the terminal will double its current diesel storage capacity by 100%, increasing it to 29 200m³. This will enhance diesel volume throughput at the port.
The size of bitumen storage facility will increase from 4 700 m³ to 6 900 m³. The project brings the total number of licensed terminal operators at the Port of Cape Town to ten, eight of which are privately owned, demonstrating strong private-sector participation in port activities.
