State-owned Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the appointment of a terminal operator to fund, design, develop, construct, operate, maintain and transfer a liquid bulk terminal at the Port of Ngqura, for a concession period of 25 years.

The RFP is a key step in the relocation of the tank farm from the Port of Port Elizabeth to the Port of Ngqura, in line with approved port development plans.

The move comes as Transnet is implementing its ‘Reinvent for Growth’ strategy, which seeks to transform and grow the business. The new terminal will include liquid bulk storage tanks, road tanker loading gantries, pipelines and the necessary terminal operation infrastructure.

The landside operation of the proposed terminal is earmarked for the port’s Liquid Bulk Precinct located at the eastern extents of the back of port land adjacent to the N2. Future developments planned for this precinct will be further developed for energy-related commodities such as liquefied natural gas (LNG).

“The development of the liquid bulk terminal demonstrates TNPA's commitment to relocate the liquid bulk operations to the Port of Ngqura. This terminal is intended to foster regional and national economic growth while ensuring environmental sustainability,” TNPA acting GM Dr Dineo Mazibuko said on June 27.

The Port of Ngqura is the only South African commercial seaport in possession of an environmental authorisation for its port operation. Therefore, the appointed terminal operator will need to ensure compliance with all relevant environmental, safety and regulatory standards.

Industry players, including new entrants and/or joint ventures in port terminal operations, can submit bids in response to the RFP, which is accessible on the Transnet Tender Portal.
