Richards Bay Port Terminals Challenges

Aging equipment and subsequent poor reliability (Landside

and Quayside Bulk Equipment)

New Equipment – OEM Local Support.

Accommodating road delivery (port designed for rail)

Environmental risks (dusty commodities)

Capacity to grow – Landside capacity versus Quayside

capacity – (Timing of capital Projects)

Skills Shortage (relating to Specialized machinery)

Richards Bay Port Terminals Performance Indicators and Benchmarks

Vessel turnaround time

Hire charges $30,000 to $160,000 /day, delays abusively expensive

Service levels

Good performance to at least achieve norms offers confidence & …

Consistency offers reliability to our clients when chartering vessels

Machinery breakdowns defeat both these objectives

Dry Bulk Terminal is very unique …

No other such “multi-product” terminal found in the world

Other bulk terminals are “amazed” at how we cope

Most other bulk terminals are:

Single commodity or “group specific” and/or

Have no self-owned storage and/or

Split up between quayside operations and landside operations

Richards Bay Port Terminals Major Capital Investments since 2011/12… “MDS Strategic Objective drive”

New Sandvik Ship Loader for bulk Exports.

New ALESA Ship unloader at Berth 609.

2 x Liebher 550 Mobile Cranes at the bulk import berths.

New Mobile (rubber wheels) equipment fleet, which includes

Forklifts, haulers, skips and Reach stackers for the Break bulk

Operation.

Development of the Triangle Area. (Open stack Area)

Expansion to the current Open Stockpile Areas (CD West)
