EMERGING STORY
• Past and future economic growth of South Africa is enabled by strong growth in
containerised import/export gateway traffic through the South African Ports and
railroads, presenting most promising growth opportunities for Transnet, that could
amount to around 20 million TEU in 2038.

• In addition South African ports system faces an opportunity to attract additional
coastal and transhipment business, building on steady growth of the Sub-Saharan
economies as well as the South-South Trade lanes. These could potentially add
between approximately 8 and 34 million TEU in 2038 with further transhipment
potential from south-south interline volumes. The nature of the port productivity on
commodities e.g. coal and iron ore has and it will remain a collaboration between the
port system and the private sector regardless of the current economic condition
• Capturing these opportunities (market potential) is time-critical as current productivity
levels are low couple with capacities are reaching their limits within the short-term
future. In addition, competing ports in the region envision to establish themselves in
the transhipment market, in partnership with global terminal operators
• In order to inform a decision on the future productivity improvement, the analyses
done focused on two triggering criteria, (a) optimisation of the total logistic cost for
the country, and (b) value creation for port users. These triggering criteria aggregate a
multitude of input factors such as skilled personnel, measurable performance
indicators, productivity management etc.

• Transnet would need
to improve overall
operating efficiency in
order to effectively
compete with these
ports
• Global operators are
willing to invest in
African port
expansions and could
gain first mover
advantage
• If other ports develop
a hub part in the
region, SA ports could
be relegated to a
feeder part status if
there is no
improvement in
efficiencies

ELEMENTS OF CO-EXISTENCE WITH PORT PRODUCTIVITY MANAGEMENT
Changing demand for freight
• New markets conditions (reliance on global supply chains).
• Tertiarization of the South African economy (gradual shift from manufacturing to services).
Changing supply of freight
• Development of intermodal transportation systems.
• Integration of freight transport services (third party logistics).
• Higher level of supply chain management.
Public policy
• Converging and diverging policies.
• Investment, zoning, security and safety regulation.
• Shift from a modal to multi-modal surface transportation policy.
• Increased environmental accountability.

STRATEGIC GOALS SUPPORTING EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY
INITAITVES
2007/2008
Strategic Goals
1. Improve vessel and cargo turnaround
2. Provision of Port Infrastructure ahead of
demand
3. Improve productive use of assets
4. Increase the Market
5. Enterprise-wide Risk Management
6. Develop human capital and skills to achieve
objectives
2009 - 2012
Initiatives currently underway to enable the safe,
efficient and effective functioning of the
productive port system
• Sustained infrastructure capacity provision,
ahead of growth demands
• Integrated planning for port infrastructure
• Safe and secure world-class port system,
preserving the environment
• Competitive and efficient port system that
drives volume growth
• Growing, productive and committed workforce
