Vuyani Ntsimango appointed new harbour master of Port Elizabeth port
State-owned ports operator Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has appointed Captain Vuyani Ntsimango as the new Harbour Master at its multi-cargo Port of Port Elizabeth (PoPE), with effect from July.
A Gqeberha local, born and raised in Zwide township, Ntsimango serves as the final authority on all matters relating to pilotage, navigation, navigational aids, dredging, and aspects relating to the safe and efficient movement of vessels within port limits.
His other duties include ensuring the availability and operational provision of maritime services.
Ntsimango is a seasoned maritime professional with more than 25 years of experience in the maritime and port operations sector.
He began his career in October 1999 as a cargo handler at the then Portnet Fruit Terminal in Port Elizabeth. From 2000 to 2008, he served in the South African Navy before joining TNPA as a trainee tug master in early 2008.
He also served in various key roles, such as tug master, open-licence marine pilot and as the deputy-harbour master for the PoPE.
“This appointment is testament that Transnet’s structured development programmes have been instrumental in nurturing and retaining talent. The TNPA marine pipeline programme is aimed at building a pipeline of future mariners through a robust progression route. Today, this led to Captain Ntsimango appointed as harbour master,” says TNPA PoPE acting port manager David Goliath.
Ntsimango holds a Diploma in Maritime Studies from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, and a Management Development Programme Certificate and a Diploma in Business Management from Nelson Mandela University.
He is currently pursuing an International Harbour Masters qualification at the Lloyd’s Maritime Academy in London, TNPA says.
