TNPA seeks bids for 25-year multipurpose terminal concession at Durban’s Maydon Wharf
South Africa’s Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has initiated a process to appoint a private operator for the multipurpose terminal at the Port of Durban’s Maydon Wharf precinct.
A request for proposals (RFP) has been issued for companies to bid to design, develop, fund, construct, operate, and maintain the terminal for a 25-year concession period before transferring it back to the State-owned group.
The deadline for RFP submissions has been set for June 9, with a non-compulsory site briefing to be held on March 27.
The Maydon Wharf precinct covers 145 ha and has 15 berths with a yearly capacity to handle over seven-million tons of cargo, including dry and break bulk, as well as small volumes of liquid bulk and containers.
The eventual concessionaire will enter into a terminal operator agreement with the TNPA and will be responsible for the development of the terminal infrastructure required for operations, including sheds, offices, ablutions, canteens, fencing, security systems, paving, bulk services, communication systems, lighting, substations, and general machinery, plant and equipment.
The site consists of two leases, namely Lease L36049 and Lease L306091, with respective areas of approximately 12 266 m² and 12 859 m², with Lease L36049 being a brownfield site that includes the main administration building, an office block and a workshop.
Acting Port of Durban port manager Nkumbuzi Ben-Mazwi indicated that the RFP sought to attract a capable terminal operator to help modernise infrastructure, optimise cargo handling and strengthen the port’s overall role as a key trade gateway.
