Logistics survey adds impetus to rail pushBY Liesl Venter

South Africa’s logistics costs, at a staggering R317 billion per annum, are growing year on year making intervention not just necessary but critical.

At 15.9% of the country’s GDP, pressure to reduce logistics costs is now even more acute than ever before in light of the global economic meltdown.

These were some of the findings of the fifth State of Logistics Survey conducted by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and Imperial Logistics.

Launched in Johannesburg last week, the survey – aptly titled ‘Logistics value and cost drivers from a macro and micro-economic perspective’ – found that transport and inventory carrying costs were on an alarming upward trend even when real increases are considered.

Said Hans Ittman, executive director of CSIR Built Environment: “Transportation

costs are now measured at 53% of total logistics costs, 14% higher than the world average at 39%. Being far away from all our sources of imports, still relying heavily on transport via road versus rail together with a significant increase in inventory costs, stakeholders in the industry need to constantly evaluate their costs closely, collaborate with peers and be determined to find best cost options.”

According to Abrie de Swardt, marketing director of Imperial Logistics, the rapid increase in logistics costs is an issue of concern. “We cannot continue with this trend – there are too many trucks on the road.”

Ittman agreed, saying containers needed to be on rail. “Road and rail have to work together for Team South Africa. But we cannot continue moving 196 million tons on the corridors alone on road.”

Elvin Harris of Transnet Freight Rail, who joined in a panel discussion on the

survey, said much had been done to entice cargo back to rail.

“We have seen massive capital investment in the past five years which is upgrading the infrastructure. New locomotives and wagons have been purchased and we are looking at improving our operations – already we have increased the trains on the various corridors and also reduced the travelling time, making it a faster service.”

He said there was no denying more needed to be done, but the survey was proof enough that there was a need for a reliable railway network in the country.

Also commenting on the effect of worsening road conditions and the necessity for a green supply chain, De Swardt said the survey was not all about doom and gloom.

“Much of what we are doing in this country is of world class. It is about harnessing and improving that and being internationally competitive.”

Preliminary Revenue Results 2008/2009On the afternoon of 01 April 2009 the Minister of Finance announced the preliminary revenue results for the fiscal year 2008/2009.

In the fiscal year 2007/08 customs duty accounted for R23.772 billion. In the fiscal year 2008/2009 however, an amount of R22.80bn was collected. As for excise duties (specific excise) an amount of R19.63bn was collected in the fiscal year 2008/2009, which is down from a February 2008 estimate of R20.40bn.

If one looks at the revenue result in general, the South African Revenue Service (Sars) collected an amount of R625.57 billion by midnight 31 March 2009. The preliminary result is 0.34% below the revised February 2009 Budget estimate of R627.69 billion. This represents a 9.2% growth in revenue collection over 2008. According to the Minister, in anticipation of the economic downturn, the revenue target was adjusted downwards in February from R642.27 billion

to R627.69 billion. The Minister also explained that the current conditions had resulted in the collection of R625.57 billion or 99.66% of the target.

The Minister said that the Import Value-added Tax (VAT) and customs duty contributed to the shortfall as a result of falling trade volumes, especially during the last quarter of the fiscal year. Apparently a key factor was a 10% decline in automotive goods and parts, which make up 19% of monthly imports. The Minister also mentioned that customs deferments collected amounted to R4.2 billion.

Tariff Amendment – 03 April 2009 Minibus TaxisA notice was published in the Government Gazette of 03 April 2009 in respect of the amendment of Schedule No.1 Part 2B of the Customs and Excise Act (Ad Valorem Excise Duties, and Ad valorem Customs Duties on Imported Goods of the Same Class of Kind) that amends the description of the item to exclude 14-seat minibus taxis from the payment of ad valorem duties.

The amendment of Item 126.02/87.02 is published with retrospective effect from 01 April 2006.

Draft VAT Interpretation Note – CommentSars has extended an invitation to all interested parties to comment on Draft Interpretation Note: No.31 (Issue 2) titled Documentary proof required to substantiate a vendor’s entitlement to apply the zero rate to the supply of goods or services in terms of section 11(3).

Comment is due by 01 June 2009.

Application for the Rebate of the DutyA notice has been published in the Government Gazette to replace an earlier notice of 24 December 2009. The notice was in respect of the rebate of the full customs duty (duty) on electric heating resistors for the manufacture of solid-plate stoves, solid-plate hobs and solid-plate tabletop cooker.

The application was lodged by Defy Appliances (Pty) Ltd, who stated, as reason for the

application, that there were no Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) manufacturers of electric heating resistors and solid plates which currently carry an ad valorem duty of 20%, and are used in the manufacture of domestic stoves, hobs and tabletop cookers.

Comment is now due by 17 April 2009.

Draft Rule Amendment – Comment DueSars has published a Draft Rule Amendment in respect of its proposed Draft State Warehouse Rules.

Comment is due by no later than 04 May 2009.

FRIDAY April 10 2009 | 3

A new dedicated roll-on, roll-off (ro-ro) feeder service between Durban and West/East Africa has been launched.

It follows the formation of a partnership agreement by Daewoo Logistics of Korea, FWT Logistics of Japan and Durban-based KTSL, according to KTSL MD Sagie Naidoo.

Two medium-sized ro-ro vessels will be utilised for this service, and Naidoo expects that there will be two sailings

per month.“The port rotation will be

Durban, Luanda, Tema and Lagos,” he said, “with other West African port calls on inducement.”

There’s a significant advantage in the use of the medium-sized vessels, according to Naidoo, since they’re able to enter most West African ports.

“And, being dedicated to the Durban-West Africa trade avoids the vessels’ capacity

being taken up by cargo from other source ports. It leaves them with more space purely for SA-sourced cargo.”

Naidoo also expects the service to be extended to East Africa in about three-months, with port calls planned for Dar es Salaam, Mombasa and Maputo.

The first sailing is scheduled for today (April 10) with the Trust Dubai, while the second vessel, the K Y Frigg, is due to join the run from early May.

There’s been a change of name as the Taiwan-based Evergreen Group increased its presence in the SA market from April 1.

The major shipping line has entered a joint-venture with its present SA agency partner, Green Africa Shipping (GAS), to establish a new agency – trading under the name, Evergreen Agency SA (ESA).

It’s all designed to be a

seamless change-over, FTW was told, with the new agency headquartered in the old GAS premises in Johannesburg, still maintaining the same branch offices in Cape Town and Durban, and staffed by many former GAS employees.

It will serve as agents for global carrier Evergreen Line's SA ocean shipping services.

Establishing the joint-venture with the company’s

long-standing partner and agent, GAS, is in recognition of the potential market and its strategic location in Africa, said an Evergreen spokesman.

“By setting up our own agency,” he added, “we not only deliver better efficiencies and productivity to our customers but also safeguard our competitiveness in today’s challenging times and develop a future vision in Africa.”

Completion of bridge ramps up Corridor volumesBy Alan Peat

“Since the completion in May 2004 of the bridge at Katima Mulilo in Namibia, the traffic along the Trans-Caprivi Corridor has made significant progress in terms of cargo volumes,” says Agnetha Mouton, business development officer of the Walvis Bay Corridor Group.

“They’ve grown from 200-tonnes per month in 2004 to a record level of almost 13 000-t per month. Imports handled along the TCC include sulphur and other chemicals, which have also increased significantly.”

Tied in with the promotion of the TCC route, the WBCG established a branch office in Lusaka, Zambia in 2005.

“This,” said Mouton, “with the aim of creating awareness and establishing

new business utilising the TCC via the Port of Walvis Bay.”

The port is also preparing to meet forecast growth.

“Walvis Bay has committed to expanding to handle 500 000 TEUs a year,” she said.

Not generally associated with non-containerised cargo, United Maritime Logistics has broken new ground and expanded into the breakbulk and project field with several shipments under its belt and more to come.

Well known in the industry as a specialised groupage operator from the US, the company’s strength in that market is what clinched the deal.

“We were approached by Micor Shipping in November last year to arrange the import of mining machinery from the US,” UML Johannesburg branch manager Corinne French told FTW.

“It was a partnership venture,” said French, “with UML acting as the NVOCC for Micor.

“Our holding company is Direct Container Line/Vanguard Logistics, the largest NVOCC out of the States, and they carry huge volumes of project cargo globally with a dedicated project division based

in Chicago.”The first shipment comprised

shuttle cars and scoops for deep cast mines, UML’s Eben de Villiers explained. “This was followed by a massive crane comprising 849 cubic metres and weighing 177 tons that was discharged in Durban last month from a Hoëgh Autoliners vessel,” he told FTW.

“Staff from UML and Micor were on hand in Durban when the vessel discharged to ensure that there were no damages to the pieces considering the size of the cargo that was handled,” says French. “In fact we received a call at midnight to be at the port at 2am to witness the offloading – a process that was completed by 5.30 that morning.”

And according to Micor’s Durban general manager Dave Scott, it’s been smooth sailing all the way, with Micor arranging the clearing and forwarding once the equipment was discharged in Durban.

“The logistics of getting the shipment to the port is one of the biggest challenges,” said De

Villiers. “With pieces weighing 32-37 tons each – which exceeds all road limitations – different permits were required for each US state. Our specialist understanding of the US market was a huge advantage.”

French believes a lot of people are keen to move into the breakbulk sector but don’t

have the understanding of the US market. “We offer them the expertise in the US and give them an opportunity to test new waters.”

UML has been importing project cargo on a month to month basis since November and expects this to continue for the forseeable future.

Concerns in the clothing and textile sectors reported in the national press about last week’s expiry of the Textile and Clothing Industry Development Programme (TCIDP) export-based incentive can be put to one side, according to a senior FTW source in the industry.

“I can guarantee it will be extended for another year to March 31, 2010,” he said.

That’s been the history of the export incentive for the past eight years, he added, and the delay in the International Trade Administration Commission (Itac) announcing the extension is “purely because of the usual bureaucratic tardiness”.

For the past eight years, the

TCIDP incentive has expired on March 31 each year, and, after a couple of months the extension has been granted, the source added.

“It’s going to be the same this year. It’s only a matter of waiting for the official announcement to be made.”

This has been indirectly confirmed.

The national newspaper, Business Day reported that it was “aware of a decision taken at the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) ministerial council in December, and circulated informally in the industry, that the plan would be renewed for one year”.

And certainly, the demise of the old incentive scheme has not yet been cast in stone.

Siyabulela Tsengiwe, chief commissioner of Itac, has been reported as saying: “The commission has not received a policy directive from the trade and industry minister to gazette the decision.”

‘Delay in announcing the extension is purely because of the usual bureaucratic tardiness.’

Specialised customs training by the World Customs Organisation (WCO) is now a reality for South Africans wanting to get to grips with this complex topic.

Through a partnership with Global Maritime Legal Solutions, the WCO’s extensive e-learning programme will be accessible to South Africans within the next month.

The partnership, which will also involve the African Tax Institute, is aimed at improving the quality and quantity of training in customs administration worldwide.

Says Norbert Cochin of the WCO: “The aim is to bring the WCO standards closer to the field by ensuring a common Customs language is spoken across the globe. To achieve that we must train at the same standard all over the world.”

He said through training, using the WCO standard, a common point of departure was being created ensuring that whether in Shanghai or in Durban or en route to Dubai all would work on the same

principle and understanding.The WCO has incorporated

all of its 150 training modules into an e-learning programme, which is now available via Global Maritime Legal Solutions. Says the company’s Mark Goodger: “Customs is finally being acknowledged on a masters level at some universities in South Africa. With the WCO opening a training centre in South Africa through us, we can for the first time say we are tapping from the lion’s den.”

According to Riaan de Lange of the African Tax Institute (ATI), there is no doubting the importance of the WCO e-learning system. “Customs is seen as very complicated and people find it difficult to comprehend.”

He said the University of Pretoria for this reason had now included a module on Customs and Excise in the third year B.Comm (Taxation) degree. The ATI will also be involved in adapting some of the WCO models for the South

African context.The WCO models cover a

wide variety of topics including 60 hours on the harmonised system, framework of standards, customs valuation, security and risk assessment and transfer pricing.

Based in Brussels, the WCO has training centres across the globe. The e-learning programme was introduced by the organisation in 2003 to improve the quality and quantity of training in customs administrations worldwide.

Copper exports opt for WalvisThe Port of Walvis Bay has been nibbling away at the copper export market and the latest records show that it has been handling increasing volumes of copper since April last year, according to Agnetha Mouton, business development officer of the Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG).

It has been biting chunks out of the traditional routes for copper exports from the Copperbelt region in Zambia and the DRC, which have historically exited through the ports of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Durban.

“But,” said Mouton, “since 2004 the Port of Walvis Bay has established a direct linkage to the Copperbelt and the DRC markets, providing shorter transit times.

“The transport of goods from the port to the Copperbelt is on average 4-5 days by road – with only a single border crossing at Katima Mulilo in Namibia.”

The highway that forms the Trans-Caprivi Corridor (TCC) has played a distinct role in the fast linkage of Walvis Bay, Zambia and the DRC, she said.

A high-level conference in Lusaka this week has hopefully added impetus to the overarching objective of the North South Corridor project – lowering logistics costs in Africa.

It’s an ambitious plan to create a reliable and efficient transport network and reduce bottlenecks along the main trading routes through eight African countries – South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Botswana and Mozambique.

Driven by the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa), East African Community (EAC) and Southern African Development Community (SADC), the project involves upgrading of infrastructure and simplifying customs and regulatory procedures. It will also include measures to improve power supply and transmission

in the 12 Southern African Power Pool members.

A pilot Aid for Trade programme, the project comprises two priority Nepad Corridors:● The Dar es Salaam Corridor linking the port of Dar es Salaam with the Copperbelt in Zambia and DRC; and● The North-South Corridor which links the Copperbelt to South Africa’s ports.

Key stakeholders will work with funders and businesses to reduce transport time and costs along the Corridor, with the estimated total cost of implementing all projects and programmes estimated at around US$1 bn over a five to 10-year period.

Some of this will be in grants and concessionary loans but there will also be many opportunities for private investment

Zambia hosted a high-level conference in Lusaka on Monday and Tuesday that brought together

heads of state and key business and financial institutions to secure the necessary funding and to highlight the investment

opportunities.“Deepening regional integration

and partnering with the private sector are key to addressing

the challenges of resource mobilisation and improving competitiveness,” EAC secretary general Juma Mwapachu said.

Trucks queue at the DRC border … the cost of a truck sitting idle is estimated at $200-$400 a day.


FTW0016SP

Regional transport inefficiency – the impact in a nutshellThe North South Corridor was selected for the programme because it is the busiest in the region in terms of values and volumes.

Illustrating the cost-savings that could be achieved –

transporting a single cargo of copper from the Copperbelt to Durban port currently takes, on average, two to three weeks.

In Europe the same distance would take 48 hours.

It is estimated that the lost income in terms of interest alone on a train-load of copper is around US$16 000 per week of delay, according to regional experts.

The volume of goods

moving along the corridor is expected to increase in the coming years and the infrastructure will collapse without remedial action being taken.

The World Bank estimates

that for every $1 spent on preventative road maintenance, $4 is saved on rehabilitation.

The Corridor project aims to improve 8 650 km of road and 600 kms of rail track and maintain it in good order.

‘Border crossing times must be reduced’By Joy Orlek

Trade facilitation is a key element of the North South Corridor Programme, with a number of issues currently under the spotlight.

“These include harmonisation of customs procedures and legislation, road safety programmes and programmes to address HIV Aids,” says regional trade expert and head of the Regional Trade Facilitation Programme in Pretoria, Mark Pearson.

“Crossing of borders currently takes between one and five days,” Pearson told FTW. “Since the cost of a truck sitting idle is $200-$400

a day, if you can reduce the time taken at borders you can significantly reduce the cost of transport in the region - and that can be achieved through harmonisation of procedures, putting in more modern procedures and ensuring that scanners are working. It’s not just a question of having a one stop border post.”

Harmonisation of axle loads and vehicle dimension limits, and third party and transit systems are all key issues.

According to Pearson, an analysis of the whole road network in the North South Corridor has been undertaken.

“Most roads are in good condition but there’s quite a backlog in terms

of rehabilitation and maintenance.”

Several programmes are also in place to address the rail network. “One is to look at the concession agreements,” says Pearson. “Every railroad north of South Africa is concessioned to a private company with the exception of Tazara. It’s a monopoly concession and the general consensus is that those agreements are not working – they’ve merely moved from a non-functioning public sector monopoly to a non functioning private sector monopoly.”

The idea is to find a way to make those concessions work.

“With the price of copper

dropping it’s important to reduce the transport costs of copper otherwise you don’t make any margins at all.”

Port capacity is also an important part of the mix. “The two main ports are Durban, which is already being upgraded and Dar es Salaam where a major port masterplan has just been completed.

“They’re talking about a new container terminal and dredging to 12m which will take the larger panamax vessels – but the problem is funding.”

According to Pearson a number of funding mechanisms are under consideration and this was a key focus at this week’s Lusaka conference.

New Zim warehouse to reduce truck dwell-time

Chiller units packed in record time

By Alan Peat

In a move designed to reduce truck standing time into Zimbabwe, Manica Africa now has a bonded warehouse – a customs-controlled area allowed to hold uncleared goods – on the Zimbabwe side of the Beitbridge border post, due to start operation from May 1.

It fits in with a basic philosophy of the Manica group – that “no truck sleeps overnight at a border”, according to regional transport manager, Niki Warren.

“Obviously, she said, “we have positively acknowledged

a known fact in the transport industry – that reducing truck dwell-time at the border increases productivity.

“It also has to be recognised that truck delays at border posts negatively impact the industry, hence the imposition of punitive demurrage charges by the industry as a way to recover the costs caused by unjustified delays.”

There is a series of practical steps laid down by Manica, designed to ensure that a truck will not sleep overnight on arrival at the border

Said Warren: “It will be

immediately called into the transit shed on completion of export formalities on the SA side, and it will not have to wait for full import clearance formalities.

“Toll fees, carbon tax, VID coupons, CVGs and insurance on the Zim side, and other borders where such costs are raised, are all arranged prior to the arrival of the truck to ensure no delays – with the truck offloading as soon as it enters the transit shed, ready to turn back. It will then be supervised out of Zimbabwe at no additional charge.”

Also a valuable cost control that will delight truckers is

that the driver does not have to carry large sums of money.

“We are aiming at offering a seamless, one-stop service – and speed of clearance at both the SA and Zim side of the border – and indeed at all other border posts where Manica is represented,” Warren added.

It also means only one invoice for export clearance and transit charges.

Security of vehicles offloaded by car carriers – which are currently being vandalised within Zimra yard – is yet another concern addressed in the Manica operational guide.

“We have to bring peace of mind to the clearing agents, car carrier, and most importantly to the clients,” said Warren.

To achieve this, a handover/takeover procedure is implemented for receipt of vehicles into the transit shed – ensuring that the condition of the vehicle at arrival is tracked, and an inspection report made available.

Tight security is maintained at the transit shed, and the option of open storage or storage under cover is given. Finalising the security, a handover report is completed on release of the vehicle.

‘Trucks will not sleep overnight on arrival at the border’

In an extra-urgent job, Cape Crating has just specially packed 32 refrigeration units bound for Angola in a record overnight timing, according to company partner, Owen Bottomley.

“We only had hours in which to complete this job for Durban-based forwarder,

RB Freight,” he told FTW, “all designed to meet a Cape Town call of the Safmarine Luba – which operates an unscheduled, multi-purpose service between SA and West Africa.”

And, because it’s an unscheduled service, the space on the ships has to be sold by

Safmarine on short notice once the vessel’s berthing in the port is finally guaranteed.

This meant that an extra-quick operation had to be conducted to get the chiller units – designed for both freezer and cold storage purposes – safely packed and ready to go, according to

Richard Barry, MD of RB Freight.

Cape Crating proved itself up to the task, he added, and the shipment met its schedule deadline.

Since 1997

‘Positive growth by year-end’South Africa could see positive growth towards the end of the year if responses to the global economic crisis are implemented timeously and effectively.

This is according to Professor Raymond Parsons, deputy CEO of Business Unity South Africa (Busa), who said it was imperative that global and domestic policies dealing with

the crisis were allowed to be given time to work.

Consumer confidence edges upThe FNB/BER consumer confidence index (CCI) increased by 5 index points, from –4 during the 4Q2008 to +1 during the 1Q2009, according to FNB chief economist Cees Bruggemans. A reading of +1 indicates that there are currently slightly

more optimists than pessimists, says Bruggemans.

Positive message from shipping major on 125th anniversary“Every cloud has a silver lining.”

That was the message from Mitsui OSK Lines president Akimitsu Ashida as the line celebrated its 125th anniversary.

“Working together we can overcome this difficult

period and place ourselves in a position to seize new opportunities for growth as and when the economy turns around,” he said.

Rush hour in Cape as major shipping services rerouteEight major shipping services are now – or soon will be – skipping Suez and Panama canal fees to sail around the Cape of Good Hope, according

to an American Shipper report. Two more services are

expected to opt for the Cape route soon.

Free flights a perk of the job?A baggage handler flew from New York to Boston after falling asleep in the cargo hold of a JetBlue airliner but was unharmed and not charged with any crime, media reports and officials said.

Freeway improvement project sets 2011 deadlineBy Liesl Venter

Construction on the Gauteng freeway improvement project is progressing well with the first phase set to be completed by no later than 2011.

According to Alex van Niekerk, manager: toll and traffic, northern region of the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral), the first phase includes substantial upgrading of

various interchanges as well as additional lanes to the freeway, while the second phase will see construction of 158km of new freeway for the province.

Speaking at the monthly Transport Forum in Woodmead, Johannesburg last week, Van Niekerk said the project, which kicked off in June last year, was part of an integrated approach to improving Gauteng’s transport network.

“The freeway upgrade is

one part of it and not the entire solution. Together with Gautrain, the upgraded metrorail facilities and trains as well as the rapid bus system are all working together to provide the transport needs of the province.”

He said while much of it was about addressing the congestion problems, it was also about introducing an integrated transport system to the economic hub of the country.

Gauteng’s freeway network

currently handles between 75 000 and 200 000 vehicles daily.

“To handle the load and to ease congestion we are upgrading the freeways to four lanes per direction and in some instances up to six lanes per direction,” said Van Niekerk. “There are seven system interchanges that will be upgraded as well as 21 access interchanges, while the entire freeway network will be monitored by camera to ensure a safer and more reliable network.”

Alex van Niekerk ... freeways to be upgraded to four lanes.

Following the user pays principle, it makes economic sense to toll Gauteng’s freeways once upgrades to the existing road network have been completed, said Alex van Niekerk, manager: toll and traffic, northern region of the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral).

“Tolling in Gauteng has a long history with various schemes having been discussed as possible options since 1999. The decision to implement the user pays principle will see a state-implemented toll road become a reality in coming years.”

Van Niekerk said the system, which will see more than 42 gantries being erected across the freeway network,

will be a world first as it will link all toll roads in the country to one account.

“In Gauteng alone we are expecting to do some 2 400 000 electronic transactions every day. This system will use an e-tag which will be an

on-board unit that has central clearing and is linked to a single account allowing for interoperability between all the toll roads.”

Van Niekerk said while it would be challenging at first to effectively distribute tags it was the way of the future.

If South Africa wants to remain competitive in the current economic times, companies are going to have to learn to work together at a sustainable level, said Abrie de Swardt, marketing director of Imperial Logistics.

Speaking at the launch of the CSIR and Imperial Logistics fifth State of Logistics Survey in South Africa, De Swardt said collaboration and cooperation were extremely important and instead of companies heading to the trenches in difficult times they should be implementing these practices.

“Now more than ever is the time to improve your on-shelf availability by consolidating, cooperating and collaborating. We must work together.”

He said the holy grails of the supply chain – high-speed and low-cost – would also not be the only factors in coming years.

“These are two very significant and important factors, but companies who want to be sustainable and remain at the top of the game will realise that speed and cost are not enough any more.”

With business confidence at an all-time decade low,

cooperation between companies to ensure they are meeting customer demands will be key, said De Swardt.

“In the US between 1980 and 2000 the supply chains became faster and cheaper, but consumer satisfaction still plummeted making it clear the supply chain needed more.”

He said agility, adaptability and alignment were now just as important as speed and cost.

“The ability to respond quickly to changes in the supply chain, to be able to recover promptly from shock and evolve over time is just as important. Along with that

is the ability to work across the supply chain – times have changed and we need to change with them.”

De Swardt said culturally South Africans were brought up to compete, but in the current economic times, with the cost of logistics at 15.9% of the GDP, it was time for a change. “We must be able to compete internationally and work at a sustainable level. To have the competitive advantage we will have to learn to work together. Supply chains will have to become more resilient to accommodate changes quickly and effectively.”

PE tightens port security

By Claire Warneke

Security in the port of Port Elizabeth will tighten in October this year when a new system goes live.

The R43million project was launched in Port Elizabeth in June 2008 with completion planned for October 2009.

According to Takatso Maputle, electrical engineering technician, the new project includes “state of the art” surveillance and access control systems.

Access to the port will be restricted by electronic access cards that will contain individual identification and vehicle registration information about the permit holder, including biometric (fingerprint) data.

Over 200 surveillance cameras have been installed

throughout the port to ensure all activity is monitored and recorded.

“This system will ensure that no unauthorised activities can take place within the port boundaries,” says Nelson Masophi, port security officer. “This will help improve business confidence and hopefully increase the number of foreign vessels due to the world-class security standards.”

All security operations will be monitored from a security control room within the port.

“This technologically-advanced security system reinforces Transnet National Ports Authority’s commitment to aligning our port security with the International Ship and Ports Security (ISPS) code requirements,” says Ester Goosen, port manager.
