Port Manager, Foreword

PREFACEThami Ntshingila has assumed the helm at the Port of Durban after a stint as the Richards Bay port manager. In his words he is a methodical person who works stead-fastly towards achieving his goals.

FULL-STEAM AHEAD

The Port of Durban is the country’s most prominent and plays a major role as the eco-nomic gateway for Africa. As the lifeblood for exports and imports, it is instrumental in growing the economy, connecting our indus-trial zones with the world.

Annually 60% of South Africa’s container trade, over 520000 vehicles, 30 million tons of bulk, 7 million tons of general cargo and 12000 vessels move through the port.

There are few who will dispute that the global recession has profoundly affected the economy and the port. The continued euro zone crisis, the slowdown in Chinese growth and general economic issues have affected port revenues. However, every challenge is only an opportunity awaiting

discovery and these issues are forcing everyone to think differently; to find new ways for boosting revenues.

The new post-Panamax container ves-sels have decreased the number of con-tainer calls, but that raises prospects for approaching industry to identify avenues to boost their businesses that would conse-quently knock-on the port.

In some cases this may even mean iden-tifying new industries with the prospect for exporting goods via the port, particularly with South Africa’s focus shifting to ben-eficiation of raw materials and away from exporting unfinished products.

Transnet National Ports Authority has com-mitted to a R21.3 billion capital expenditure into the port that will significantly impact on the volumes passing through the facility.

The first step involves installing new cranes to assist container handling capacity, both in terms of efficiency levels and in accom-modating the new-generation vessels now sailing the seas. These are the investments that will ensure the Port of Durban leads the way in growing the economy and anchors our role in the global transport system.

With these opening thoughts, it is my pleasure to introduce this edition of the Port of Durban Magazine and Directory. I trust this publication will sufficiently catch your interest for you to engage with us on how your business can be supported by the port.

PPORTFeature, Port for the 22nd century

Let’s pretend that Vasco da Gama, through some magical sleight of time and space, manages to anchor his little fleet of three ships outside Durban harbour today. The last time he was here was on Christmas Day, 1497. He was the first person to record any mention of the huge bay off the East Coast of southern Africa, one of the few natural harbours on Africa’s notorious East Coast, a bay sheltered by an impressive wooded peninsular and guarded by a shifting sand-bank. His ships were each about 27 metres long, manned in total by 177 men. They were sent by Portugal’s King John to find a trade route to India, and they travelled further than any other European explorer at that time.

But today he is anchored here and mar-velling at the changes that have occurred since his last visit. A modern container ship sweeps past him, more than ten times the size of his flagship, but with a crew of only 12. Its entry into the port is monitored by the vast Millennium Tower on the Bluff, a huge port control structure with radar, GPS

PREFACEChanges in the harbour from 1497 to now would marvel anyone. TNPA plans to make the harbor more efficient by investing in existing facility upgrades, land reclamation and a new dig-out port. Planning & Development Manager, Selvan Pillay elaborates.

and computers to handle the more than four and a half thousand large ships that enter the port every year - an average of twelve a day and 38% of all South African shipping traffic.

His men cower in fear as a helicopter ratchets overhead on its way to yet another huge ship waiting to enter the port, the busi-est in the Southern Hemisphere, handling 67,4% of all container traffic and 75 million tonnes of cargo. (The most sophisticated ship of the Dutch East India Company in the 1700s carried 500 tonnes: a modern vessel carries about 20 000 tonnes).

The ancient sailor’s little cockleshells would be a little wary of the sandbank - but today that is no longer a problem. The notorious bar is tamed by an ongoing pro-gramme of dredging, with the sand sucked up from the seabed and pumped onto Durban’s northern beaches. To Da Gama’s 15th-century eyes the vast clanging ships, the insect-like dredger, the busy tugs, the floating cranes, the gantries and lights, the noise and bustle and hum of machinery,

would seem like something out of Dante’s Inferno. But for Transnet officials, Dante’s Inferno is just another day at the office. Durban harbour is not a static place, it is a living, breathing space filled with people, machinery, vehicles, infrastructure, build-ings and equipment. It has an influence far beyond its own perimeter as its traffic goes out onto city roads and then national high-ways. Its trains link it with other cities by rail. It employs thousands of people. Ves-sels of every type come and go, creating a living network of people, cargo and busi-ness. It is constantly being changed, modi-fied, upgraded, expanded and re-planned.

The most recent major development in the port was the recently-completed widen-ing of the harbour channel, a three-year, R3 billion widening and deepening project to accommodate the new type of super-cargo ship that roams the world’s oceans. But Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) planners are already busy getting the port ready for the 22nd century.

“Our main reason for the widening of the harbour mouth was a concern to get vessels safely through the channel and also to cater for larger vessels,” says Planning and Devel-opment Manager Selvan Pillay. “Our design vessel was the container ship. Now that the larger carriers can come in, our next step is to deepen the container berths to accom-modate them. So we are busy with a feasi-bility study and scoping exercise for deep-ening and lengthening the container berths.”This upgrade programme concerns not only

the safe navigation and berthing for ships by TNPA, but also seven new cranes by TPT. This is only part of a huge, multi-decade R21 billion port upgrade for container traffic, requiring land infrastructure, new channels, deepening and strengthening of wharves and quays.

“We need to think ahead,” says Pillay, “so that we can get the maximum amount of use out of the port for the capital invested.” Thinking ahead involves the current upgrade of the existing facilities, some land reclama-tion to give the port authorities more space for container handling, the creation of a completely new dig-out port on the site of the old Durban International Airport, and a complete redesign of the current container facilities. These operations will keep Pillay and his colleagues busy till the next century.

“If you look at the port boundary,” says Pillay, “we’ve got the city in the north and west so there is no room for expansion there. To the south is the old airport where the new dig-out port will go, but you cannot extend the harbour that way because there is infrastructure in place there like railways, roads, sheds and office blocks. So we are looking at rationalising the areas around the port itself first, then we will get started

on the dig-out port, then we will build the new container terminal. We are looking at a whole new harbour by about 2050.”

Rationalising the harbour is not as easy as it sounds. There are several different precincts, each with tenants, operators and existing workloads. Any upgrades or changes have to work around a busy harbour that is already straining at the seams.

The passenger terminal - the famous N-shed on the T-jetty, where Perla Gibson (the famous Lady in White) stood to sing goodbye to the troopships leaving Durban harbour to fight on the battlefields on World War Two - is in the process of being relocated to A Berth, a more tourist-friendly part of the the harbour. At the moment, the passenger terminal is also a cargo area and quite industrial.

“We want to separate traffic so that cars for passengers are not mixed with cargo and heavy goods vehicles,” says Pillay. “Also, in discussions with passenger liners, they are looking at bringing in larger vessels more often, so we are looking to upgrade the pas-senger-handling capacity. At the moment the terminal can process 5 000 at a time. We have already started the process, doing a pre-feasibility study to construct a mod-ern passenger terminal.”

Now that the larger carriers can come in, our next step is to deepen the container berths to accommodate them.

The Roll on-Roll-off terminal also known as the Ro-Ro terminal has been fitted with the grand Navis SPARCS N4 Terminal Operating System to track container movements and also speed up operations. This new system will also be rolled out to the Maydon Wharf area towards the end of 2012.

To boot, an order of six new mobile cranes will be fitted in the wharves and quays, each crane able to lift 140 tons. This will enable faster, safer and more efficient transportation of containers.“These are mobile harbour cranes, the first ones in Africa,” says Zeph Ndlovu, Terminal Executive for the Durban RoRo and Maydon Wharf Terminal. “Equipment and maintenance is one aspect of TPTs six-point plan to handle increased container cargo, the other focus points are human resources, information technology, infrastructure, stakeholder engagement, change manage-ment, and planning.”

Maydon Wharf is also getting brand new steel sheet-pile berths - the first replace-

ments in thirty years. And the whole har-bour is in the process of being replanned for space.

“For instance, on Maydon Wharf there are tenants who are near the quay wall but do not handle cargo coming off the ships,” says Pillay. “They have historic leases, but they know that they will be more effective if they move away from the quay. The port is currently drawing up a precinct plan to rationalise the area so that the future ten-ants in the precinct will all be handling cargo over the quay wall. Our dry dock tenants - we are doing a rationalisation exercise of the precinct to make sure that the area is fully utilised for their needs. At the coal ter-minal the operator is configuring the stack-ing areas to make sure they are getting max-imum capacity out of that terminal.”

In the interim while TNPA waits for the dig-out port to be constructed, preparations are under way to lease a portion of land from the Department of Public Works on Salis-bury Island, build a quay wall along the east-

ern side of the island and fill it up as a land reclamation project.

“Salisbury Island does not belong to Transnet, it is used by the Navy as a base, and they want to increase their presence there,” says Pillay. “But we are looking at leasing some land on Salisbury Island and reclaiming some of the land between two breakwaters to give us some additional con-tainer capacity.”

“And at Island View (which is the liquid fuel storage depot) we are also busy with in-creasing the size of berth 10. At the mo-ment it can only handle one bunker barge at a time, we are increasing it to handle two.”

The biggest project around Durban’s har-bour, however, is a hugely ambitious Dig-Out Port project that will alter the geography of Durban significantly - an entirely new, man-made port. The discussions started in May 2010 when the Durban International Airport was decommissioned and moved to its pre-sent site north of Durban. There was a vast

tract of land with industrial potential. For a while speculation was rife as to its eventual fate, but a short while ago it was revealed that the site had been bought by Transnet for a new port.

“At first we thought we would create a single large channel,” says Pillay, “with ships coming in at the northern channel and going out by the new southern channel, but the EIA process for this made it unfeasible. So it is going to be a stand-alone port, completely man made, dug out from the existing airport terrain and with its own entrance to the sea.”

Once the dig-out port is operational, the work will begin to re-align the current container terminal. When completed, it will create a container terminal double in size and capacity to the present one, with sub-stantial changes to the topography of the port. This is by far the most challenging part of all the port operations, as major changes

will have to be done to Durban harbour with-out interrupting the current operations and daily work of a busy and sophisticated port.

While all these things would completely flummox the 15th century explorer Vasco da Gama - whose idea of sophistication would have been an astrolabe - port officials are already looking at technologies that - a few years ago - we would have regarded as im-possible even to our modern eyes. Already an international company is investigating the possibility of generating energy from the surge of the current offshore from the harbour mouth - the first time that power generation from a sea current is being attempted. Inside the harbour itself, planners are looking for alternative sources of energy.

“Yes, we can share information with the international company,” says Pillay, “as we

have equipment to measure the waves and this might assist them with their studies. But we are also looking at generating our own power to become self-sustainable. “We are rolling out a few pilot projects using solar power and wind, and if these are successful we will expand them.”

Planning, innovation and implementation is cornerstone to Durban harbour’s development. With a vision of smooth operations, the Port of Durban is definitely becoming a structure that would have been inconceivable to da Gama.

Like every major harbour around the world, the Port of Durban values safety more than anything else. That is why the Durban Port Fire Department submits itself to regular fire drills.

The building is about to go up in flames. Thick smoke pours from the blackened doors of the four-storey tower. Panicked shouts from the third floor indicate some-one is trapped inside. In the Port of Durban Fire Station, a bell rings, a siren starts to wail, and a fire-truck rushes to the scene.

Two fire crews are already kitted up in their fire-retardant uniforms, tanks of air on their backs, helmets on their heads. While one crew unrolls hoses and connects them to the fire hydrant, the lead fire fighter cautiously approaches the door from the side.

‘The risks are huge’He waits for water in the hose, feels the door for heat, pushes it open and he and his assistant disappear inside.

A water cannon mounted on the roof of the fire truck gushes a four-storey stream of water at the top of the building. The vic-tim is rescued, the fire is brought under con-trol, and another emergency fire drill for the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) fire department has been successfully com-pleted.

‘Safety in a port is vastly different to fire safety in a city,’ says Cyril Kistasamy. As the Port Fire Chief he heads the Port of Durban Fire Department – key to the port’s fire safety.

’In the city you have houses, shopping centres and parks. In a port you have petrochemical storage tanks, industrial pro-cesses, flammable goods, ships with cargo, heavy vehicles, containers and warehouses. The risks in a port are huge.’

Article, Port Fire Department

High level of awarenessFor this reason the Port Fire Department has highly-trained and specialised person-nel to deal with marine fires, chemical spills, hazardous materials, industrial flare-ups and ship-board fires.

‘We are the first call-out for an incident in the Port,’ says Kistasamy. ‘We don’t get many fires, though. Our most common incidents are chemical spillages. Our main job and aim is to prevent fires from starting in the first place. We constantly maintain a high level of fire awareness amongst our employees and Port’s tenants.’

Two fire trucks in the Port Fire Depart-ment deal with most incidents. One is an ordinary fire engine, the other a high-pres-sure pump specifically for petroleum fires. This one uses seawater mixed with foam to surround and smother a chemical fire, and is kept on standby in case of incidents at the Island View petrochemical storage plant.

Protect staff and equipmentFor shipboard fires, six working tugs are adapted to assist with fire-fighting duties. For fire on board, they use a special light

foam. If they use water, they will sink the vessel.

A total of 61 fire fighters, nine of whom are officers, are deployed permanently at the Port. Fighting fires, however, is only one of their many duties.

‘We have a moral and legal obligation to protect staff and equipment in the Port from danger of fires,’ says Kistasamy, ‘so most of our responsibility is making sure that people comply with safety procedures, do regular fire drills, take part in fire preven-tion education, keep safety standards high.’

With water dripping off their uniforms, an extinguished fire, the ‘victim’ safely treated, and the formal report handed to the fire chief, the fire fighters of TNPA have successfully concluded another fire drill and are ready and waiting for the real thing.

Like most of the SoP’s female students, they all have found their way here through high school and tertiary maritime studies courses: Sanele Dlamini (25) and Zandile Mdletshe (29), both from eSikhawini in Richard’s Bay; Cebile Dlamini (27) from Nkwelazane in Empangeni; and Noluthando Khuzwayo (24) from Clermont, Durban. Between them, these young women have already discovered how this career can take them to West Africa, Spain, England, Japan and even Australia.

PREFACENearly half the students at Transnet School of Ports (SoP) are women, and among its previous graduates are Precious Dube, Bongi Mbambo and Pinky Zungu. Apart from being the world’s first three licensed female pilots, these ladies have become role models to today’s generation of female students.

Sanele Dlamini (SD), Zandile Mdletshe (ZM), Cebile Dlamini (CD)

and Noluthando Khuzwayo (NK) are all studying at the School of

Ports for their tug master certificate.

Q&A, School of Ports

What certificate are you studying for?NK: The others are already qualified deck officers and I will complete my oral exams for that certificate very soon – I already have a maritime studies diploma from Durban University of Technology. We are all studying now for a tug master certificate and I would love one day to become a pilot. I have a four-year-old son and a partner.

Noluthando Khuzwayo

Why did you choose this career?ZM: I moved to a new high school and the only class with space at the time was maritime studies. I was immediately interested when I saw the ropes, charts and ships in the class-room.

When did you start?CD: I became a trainee deckhand on a tugboat in 2006, and I then had the opportunity to be-come a bursary cadet in 2008. My four-year-old son is at home with my grandmother, who did not approve of my career choice. But now my family is beginning to see that it is making me independent. They are starting to come around.

What is the most interesting part of SoP?SD: Using the ship-handling simulator for a search-and-rescue exercise was a real eye-opener – it is complicated to work as a team in those conditions. The studying here is hec-tic and the hand-outs can seem like an over-load, but they make sense after you have gone through them properly. We would be lost on a tug without the information we are taught here.

What is your job’s biggest challenge?ZM: The long voyages, especially my first one as a cadet officer of the watch. I was the only woman on the vessel, with 26 men for six months and two weeks! Fortunately, the sec-ond time Zandile was on board as well. But it is also wonderful to see different places and learn about different cultures. I loved Trieste in Italy because we had three whole days to explore the food, the lovely buildings and look at the clothes.

What is your favourite memory?SD: I am the first in my family to go to sea and my parents were really scared I would drown. So it was great to do shorter coastal voyages to Namibia and make them happy with stories of how beautiful our country looks from the sea.

What is the scope of Transnet School of Ports (SoP)?SoP is part of Transnet National Port Authorities (TNPA), though Transnet Port Terminals also hires its facilities. Since 2008, SoP has grown from five staff and one pilot-training programme to 21 staff with 24 marine programmes, 18 engineer-ing programmes and a separate commercial and information communications technol-ogy section. Training combines theoretical and practical phases, with programmes and certificates accredited by the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA).

Who does SoP train?At least four out of five of our students come from Transnet, with only the minority being external and we also host harbour-masters and port-engineers for quarterly training. We train up to 60.000 students a year, an increase of 385% since 2008 - with a pass rate of at least 80%. We definitely see the impact of transformation: nearly 90% of the students we train are black and just under 50% are women.

What is the secret of SoP’s success?Mariners can earn twice as much on the water as they do in the classroom, so it is not always easy to recruit staff. At all levels, though, our people are immensely enthusi-astic, and love teaching. That despite they work long hours to prepare courses.

PREFACEThe Transnet School of Ports (SoP) has grown, with nearly 90% of students being black. The positive growth of the SoP allows for Transnet to plan its development in to a Transnet University. This will allow divisions to train together and assist in the advanced training, allowing support for other African ports.


SCHOOL OF PORTS HEAD’S PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Errorl Erradu (former Senior Manager) had left the post held at the School of Ports at the time of publishing.

SA is one of the world’s best countries in terms of supporting black women in the maritime industry.

Transnet is planning to develop the SoP into a Transnet University...


Does all the training happen at SoP?Most students attend five or six-week classroom modules that crystallise learning gained from in-service training.

Technology such as our R15 million ship-handling simulator is aligned to the interna-tional Standards for Training and Certifica-tion of Watch Keepers. SoP is Transnet’s only fully equipped maritime-training facility but from time to time we also send instructors to other SA ports to conduct workshops.

What is the future of the school?Transnet is planning to develop the SoP into a Transnet University, so divisions no longer have to train in isolation. This will also create an African maritime school of excellence, which will be especially important for advanced training. At master’s level, we currently depend on our European and Asian partners doing this at great cost. The university is an exciting prospect and I am confident we will have the capacity and expertise to build the maritime profession-alism SA needs, as well as supporting other African ports.

In a move to enhance efficiencies at the Port of Durban, the Transnet National Ports Au-thority (TNPA) has appointed Agrippa Mpo-fu as its aviation manager.

Mpofu is responsible for providing a safe and efficient aviation service in line with the TNPA’s business objectives. His previous ac-colades include receiving the French Aero-nautics and Space Industry Award 2003 and the South African Civil Aviation Authority Airworthiness Operational Manager of the Quarter Award July to September 2005.He works closely with the aviation team to develop and implement training pro-grammes and ensure that comprehensive aviation information systems run effective-ly according to national and international requirements.‘Delighted and excited’ to be joining the TNPA, Mpofu believes his managerial ex-pertise, technical skills and competencies evolved through a 12-year career including South African Airlink, South Africa Express Airways, and Airbus France would stand him in good stead. – (NJ)

The New Multi-Product Pipeline (NMPP) that was commissioned in January 2012 is among the country’s ‘most significant capi-tal investment programmes’ and will leave a legacy during its 75-year economic lifecycle, said Transnet Group Chief Executive Officer Brian Molefe.

Milestones during the 712km pipeline net-work construction, which cost R23.4 billion, included the 16-inch network criss-crossing Gauteng; the 555km of 24-inch trunk line be-

tween Durban and Jameson Park in Heidel-berg and the three pump stations in Durban, Pietermaritzburg and Ladysmith. The coastal terminal at Island View and the inland one at Heidelberg would be complet-ed in 2013.

Molefe said that when finished, the NMPP would carry five products and transport 112-million litres of fuel between Durban and Johannesburg weekly.‘In delivering the NMPP, Transnet is fulfill-ing two commitments - ensuring the inland market demand is met ... and easing the road congestion by reducing the number of tank-ers,’ he concluded. – (NJ)

The Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) signed a ground-breaking contract with Liebherr Werk Nenzing to purchase six mobile har-bour cranes earlier this year in a move ex-pected to bolster capacity and reduce ves-sel delays.

The deal formed part of the R438.3-million investment into container handling capac-ity at the Durban roll-on roll-off (RoRo) and Maydon Wharf terminals. It followed an earlier agreement signed with China-based Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Compa-ny to purchase seven tandem ship-to-shore cranes.

DURBANBoosting Durban’s port capacity

The terminals typically cover bulk, agri-bulk and RoRo cargoes, but have been steadily experiencing higher container volumes.TPT CEO Karl Socikwa said the investment would complement the existing Durban Con-tainer Terminal capacity, while boosting the service offering in line with the company’s ‘aggressive drive to increase infrastructure and facilities’.The tandem cranes were part of Transnet’s targeted intervention to renew the port handling equipment fleet and thus also con-tributed towards boosting efficiency and productivity. – (NJ)

Silindile Mkhabela (34) is proof the mari-time industry is no longer a man’s world. Born in Eshowe, the Port of Durban’s Senior Operations Manager studied at the Neth-erlands Maritime University in Rotterdam, where a master’s programme in shipping and transport equips students to fulfil senior management positions within the industry.

Mkhabela studied for a diploma in man-agement before joining Portnet (now TNPA) in 2000. She has since worked in ports around the country. In 2003, she was ap-pointed marine fleet operations manager in the Port of Durban and in 2010 was nomi-nated for a scholarship in Rotterdam.

‘Young women must not be afraid to explore all available opportunities – that’s when learning happens, allowing them to grow in their careers,’ she said. – (NJ)

TNPA’s 2012 ‘Take a Girl Child to Work Day’ saw a host of young female learners experi-ence the port operations first-hand.

The national initiative aims to offer a wide range of career choices to girls while developing and channelling them for future employment options. The 2012 project enabled 265 learners from grades 10 to 12 nationally to get a sneak peek into the mari-time world.

In Durban, participants came from Sithengile Senior Secondary, Fairvale High

DURBANHands-on the future

School and Umlazi Commercial High School.According to educators, TNPA’s

involvement in taking girl children to their workplace, was having a positive mark on exposing young, especially black women, to different career opportunities.

TNPA chief executive officer Tau Morwe said the organisation’s participation aimed to show young women that they had equal opportunities in the maritime industry, an arena previously dominated by men.

The initiative coincided with TNPA’s transformation campaign by providing edu-cational opportunities in pure mathematics, science and English and skills development to ambitious, adventure-seeking learners from disadvantaged backgrounds. – (NJ)

GGOVERNMENTQ&A, Tau Morwe

According to Tau Morwe, Chief Executive of Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA), the capital investment will see the expan-sion of rail, port and pipeline infrastructure in an effort to meet the growing demands of the nation. Apart from that, what is the value of this strategy and what are the challenges? Morwe explains. How would you describe Transnet’s infra-structure investment?If you talk of Transnet as a whole, the total investment is around ZAR300 billion in infrastructure. Of this, port terminals will see ZAR33 billion in investment, the TNPA will see ZAR47 billion and ZAR200 billion will be invested in freight rail.

Initially in the 2012/2013-cycle, the capital will be for replacement but from 2014 onwards it will focus on creating new capacity.

What are benefits for South Africa as a global competitor?In terms of benefits, we will see South Africa exporting more coal and iron ore, making us top exporters in that regard.

We are looking at the pricing strategy, so that in the future people are able to export manufactured goods at a much more com-petitive rate than now.

And of course, there will be increased job opportunities, with 15.000 direct jobs in Transnet envisaged as a result of the development and 368.000 jobs linked to Transnet’s operations.

We are working closely with government on strategic initiative projects to grow the economy.

How do these plans relate to the demands the markets will be placing on South Africa’s logistics infrastructure?We worked closely with the University of Stellenbosch when it came to working out the demand and the factors relating to it. Our strategy therefore is aimed at creating the capability and capacity to handle that demand.

How much investment has been funnelled into this sector since 2005?We have spent about ZAR100 billion in infrastructure investment over the last seven years, so going forward we are doubling or tripling what we used to spend.

How will these investments be funded? Given that the demand strategy has only recently been launched, we are beginning to see interest from relevant stakeholders.

Our model is a combination of many funding mechanisms. ZAR200 billion will be funded internally, and for the rest, Transnet will look at private partnerships, and other private funding in terms of that market.

What are the potential impediments to the success?We need to have the right skills and people, and we need to invest in training. If we do not have the skills then I don’t think we will be able to deliver on the strategy.

There are other minor challenges such as possible delays from environmental issues and so forth.

But we are confident that we will be able to achieve what we have outlined in the document. We will create the capability, hire the right people and train those that require training.

PREFACEWith its Market Demand Strategy, Transnet plans to plough ZAR300 billion into various infrastructure development initiatives. These will transform South Africa and our trans-port system fundamentally.

GGOVERNMENTProfile, South African Maritime Safety Authority

The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) was established under the SAMSA Act 5 of 1998. It is the authority charged with the promotion of South Africa’s maritime interests even though South Africa has many maritime interests that cut across many ministerial and departmental jurisdictions. It falls under the ambit of the Department of Transport.

These interests, rights and obligations are covered under international conventions to which South Africa is party, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS), the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and other maritime related conventions, which SAMSA must protect and promote. These international conventions are administered by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) which is SAMSA’s major international stakeholder.

SAMSA was established on 1 April 1998.Its formation resulted from the 1996 Transport Policy with the vision that South Africa’s Transport must support government strategies for economic and social development whilst being environ-mentally and economically sustainable.

The articulation of the maritime policy imperatives and goals are as follows:

• Developing maritime awareness;• Assisting in the creation and fostering

of an economic environment for the Maritime Transport Industry which will allow it to compete with other nations;

• Contributing to the release of the full potential of the maritime industry in South Africa and to the modernisation of the shipping administration; and

• Ensuring fair labour practices such as employee rights, job creation and security with acceptable standards of employee health, welfare and safety in the maritime industry.

As a result of articulations in the Transport Policy, the

founding legislation of SAMSA identified three core

mandate of the entity as:

1. To ensure safety of life and property at sea

2. To prevent and combat pollution from ships in the

marine environment

3. To promote South Africa’s maritime interests

South African Maritime Safety Authority, Profile

SAMSA’s local customers cut across a couple of industries, with the government being the major stakeholder. These customers divide into four categories:

Government and Public EntitiesThis includes the Department of Transport (DOT) as a major stakeholder. There are other institutions and state agencies such as Transnet and Petro SA. SAMSA also has important relationships with regional bodies such as the SADC and the Indian ocean commission.

Maritime Industry and ClientsThese include the South African Maritime economy, the Maritime industry and coastal communities.

Academic InstitutionsSAMSA has partnerships with research and academic institutions and other professional bodies.

SAMSA StaffSAMSA continues to make significant investments in it’s human capital.

SAMSA’s operations are structured by way of centres (divisions) which deliver through the following service clusters:

Corporate Governance and Institutional Positioning clusterIn this cluster we have the Centre for Corporate strategy, Risk and Governance, the Centre for Corporate Affairs and the Centre for Corporate Services.

Maritime Sector GovernanceThis cluster consists of the Centre for Policy and Regulatory Affairs and the Centre for Sea Watch and Response.

Maritime Sector Compliance and EnforcementThis cluster houses the Centre for Ships, the Centre for Seafarers and Fishing and the Centre for Boating.

Maritime Sector DevelopmentThere are two centres in this cluster: the Centre for Maritime Industry Development and Economic Analysis, and the Centre for Maritime Excellence.

SAMSA is governed by a Board made up of the CEO and six non-executive directors, including a chairperson and a deputy chairperson.

SAMSA’s CEO since 2008 is Commander Tsietsi Mokhele who has spent most of his career in the maritime environment. He started his career in the navy and Transnet National Ports Authority before joining SAMSA.

Tsietsi MokheleSAMSA CEO

Other mandates recently entrusted into SAMSA are:

1. The lead executing and implementing agency of

the Western Indian Ocean Marine Highway Project.

The project’s development objective is to introduce

modern aids to navigation systems in the SADC

region, such as an electronically supported marine

highway to guide ships through sensitive areas.

2. The Authority charged with administering the

Merchant Shipping (National Small Vessel Safety)

Regulations, 2007 as amended (“the Regulations”).

The Regulations extends SAMSA core mandate

to include inland waterways (only waterways

accessible to the public) within the Republic. That is

ensuring boating safety on our waters.

3. The Authority charged with implementing and

executing the Long Range Identification and

Tracking of Ships (LRIT) along the South African

Coastline. The long-range vessel monitoring system

assists in securing South Africa’s coastal waters in

the midst of the rising lawlessness in the high seas

with particular reference the worrying surge in

pirate attacks along the East African Coast.

Piracy threatens SADC economy & lives, Report

No longer a mythical or far-off problem, piracy along the African coastline has become significant enough for the South African navy to take an active role in coun-tering the threats its poses.

The International Chamber of Commerce International Maritime Bureau annual report 2011 stated that in the decade to 2007, only 23% of global piracy attacks happened along the African coastline. By 2008 this figure had risen to 60% and in 2011 the region accounted for 67% of piracy attacks - or 293 of the 439 reported incidents.

Significantly, 237 of the African attacks were attributed to Somali pirates and effec-tive June 2012, those pirates held hostage 12 vessels and 178 people.

Legally piracy can only occur on the high seas or outside any state jurisdiction and thus cannot happen in ports, harbours or

territorial waters - making prosecution a lo-gistical and legal nightmare.

Harsh coastlineUniversity of South Africa associate profes-sor Department of Criminology and Security Science Henri Fouché said South Africa has a harsh coastline that offers no safe harbours for pirates. South Africa, he noted, also ben-efited from strong law enforcement and an efficient criminal justice system.

However, this did not preclude our coun-try from entering into the fray in fighting Af-rican piracy. In March 2012, Chief Director Bernhard Hein Teuteberg said the navy was prepared to deal with the threat of piracy moving south towards South Africa.

According to him, fighting pirates should be a collective Southern African Develop-ment Community (SADC) security issue. In this light, he proposed a maritime zone and regional maritime domain zone centres to jointly exchange information.

His ideas have resonated and since April, information relating to vessels mov-ing around South Africa is being collated in centralised systems as a means for sharing information.

Operation CopperTeuteberg added that formalised diplomatic ties between Somalia and South Africa also assist anti-piracy efforts. Mozambique, Tanzania and South Africa

PREFACEChief Director Maritime Strategy at South African Navy, Bernard Hein Teuteberg, acknowledges the prob-lems of Piracy. Plans to put safety measures in place being worked on together with SADC and Government to safeguard sea routes.

have worked together since 2011 to safe-guard the Mozambique Channel from pirates. Operation Copper deploys a frigate and helicopter, special forces, and a mari-time squad with Mozambique providing a naval base in Pemba and 12 inland control vessels to protect the lagoon and area around the base.

Three Tanzanian vessels in the mean-time patrol the inshore areas around Dar es Salaam and between Mozambique and Tanzania, while beaches in hot spots are patrolled on foot. Local communities are urged to report suspicious activity.

Two months after Teuteberg’s com-ments, South African High Commissioner Zola Skweyiya signed a code of conduct con-cerning the repression of piracy and armed robbery against ships in the western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden on the country’s behalf. This made South Africa the 19th signatory to The Code, established by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO)

to develop regional capacity in countering piracy.

Pirates moving southwardsThe IMO is the United Nations specialised agency responsible for the safety and secu-rity of shipping, and the prevention of ma-rine pollution by ships. Among other things, code signatories promise to conduct shared operations in law enforcement and to share information.

The move following Teuteberg’s com-ments was strengthened by government commitment expressed by International Relations and Co-operation Minister Maite Nkoane-Mashabane. She said that South Africa would enhance co-operation with SADC neighbours along the Indian Ocean shoreline, specifically Mauritius, Seychelles and Somalia, to safeguard the sea routes from piracy.

Former Defence Minister Lindiwe Sisulu also

admitted that Southern African waters were increasingly becoming an attractive alterna-tive to Somali pirates ‘as they try to avoid the clamp-down of various maritime task forces around the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Aden - purely by moving into the largely un-protected parts of the Indian Ocean.’

Six million tons of oilUnderpinning the political issues in curbing piracy are challenges of a financial nature. Attacks off the Tanzanian coast and northern Madagascar have implications on global energy supplies: more than six million tons of crude oil are transported around South Africa’s western coastline monthly. The gas fields off Mozambique and Tanzania are also vulnerable to growing inci-dents of piracy.

Other sectors of the African regional economy are, directly and indirectly, being threatened too. One of piracy’s numerous effects is that shipping lines are already re-

routing trade lines. The knock-on effect may be increasing costs of transporting goods, which could translate into higher prices paid by consumers.

On another level, Fouché estimated the Seychelles economy was losing US$6 million (ZAR50.3 million) annually from its fishing and tourism industries and Kenya US$414 million (ZAR3.47 billion) in trade.

Essentially, the government’s actions - rather than just words decrying the escala-tion in piracy along the east African coast-line - reflect the extent to which there is commitment to preventing the scourge from drifting southwards and affecting the local economy like it has already done to those in the piracy pathway.

Success story

In April 2012 the South African navy played a key role in a multinational operation that saw 12 suspected pirates captured and six Sri Lankan hostages rescued off the Tanza-nian coast.

The SAS Drakensberg, equipped for anti-piracy operations and at the time patrolling the Mozambique Channel, was assisting the French navy when the pirates were spot-ted. The earlier search-and-rescue mission for a missing South African yacht shifted to a piracy interdiction operation involving the SAS Drakensberg, the Tanzanian navy, and the European naval units operating off Somalia.

A navy statement issued after the inci-dent said the successful operation ‘sent out a clear message that the South African Na-tional Defence Force, as part of SADC will not allow illegal activities within the SADC waters’.

‘It is also clear the tripartite agreement be-tween South Africa, Mozambique and Tanza-nia and the subsequent deployment of SADC forces to safeguard our sea lanes is paying dividends in ensuring the safety of our sea-farers and their precious cargoes,’ the state-ment concluded.

SOUTH AFRICAMaritime transformation

To create a more sustainable maritime industry, the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) has commis-sioned a study to create a coherent picture of the sector’s size, scope, challenges and investment needs.

A report by Business Day indicated that the industry has been shrinking for the past 30 years ‘in the absence of long-term plan-ning and unattractive maritime policies’.

SAMSA, the sector’s regulator, expressed concern about the return on investment in an industry that has benefited from gov-ernment investment initiatives. Challenges included lack of coherence in terms of man-date across government departments as well as legislative and regulatory hurdles.

In June 2012, SAMSA organised a confer-ence dealing with these and other issues. Representatives from a cross-section of the maritime industry, including shipping lines, fishing companies, oil and gas players attended the events, as well as service pro-viders, financiers, legal advisers and state policy makers. – (BW)

Government has urged the maritime indus-try to fast track its transformation agenda, by aiming for a target of least 25% black ownership.

KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Economic Development and Tourism, Mike Mabuya-khulu, told delegates at the Umyezane Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Conference and Business Awards in Dur-ban, which took place in March 2012, that these targets should be reviewed regularly. He says it is important that there is a con-tinuous increment in numbers of black South Africans entering this particular sector.Mabuyakhulu pointed out that the foreign nationals dominate the industry and that

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan’s announce-ment that as of October 2012 a duty of 10% will apply to motorboats and sailboats longer than 10 metres was met by concerns during the 2012 Economic Outlook for the Maritime Industry.

Attendees of the seminar, hosted by the eThekwini Maritime Cluster (EMC) in part-nership with Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal (TIKZN), are worried about the impli-cations.

Guest Speaker Ian Anderson from Grind-rod Asset Management said: ‘This will affect the maritime industry. We are aware that this is targeted at the wealthy, however, it will impact on the customers’ affordability.’

The EMC, a section 21 company, was launched as a joint initiative between Eco-nomic Development Unit and the Maritime Industry stakeholders in 2009. It aims to support the growth of the Port of Durban and the associated maritime business com-munity, so that they function as efficient facilitators of trade that support economic growth and job creation.

Noma Sokhela from the Municipality’s Economic Development Unit said: ‘The EMC continues working with the industry and other government departments and agents in support and development of the maritime industry. As a result a Provincial Maritime Cluster will be formed by the KZN Depart-ment of Economic Development and Tour-ism.’ – (BW)

Earlier this year, South Africa’s key interna-tional allies - the US and the European Union (EU) - called on the government to join their oil embargo against Iran.

By not following the West, South Africa could be excluded from the US financial system, resulting in being cold-shouldered on exports, imports, loans and aid. However, if we listen to our 2nd and 3rd largest trade partners, South Africa could be left short of a lot of oil: some 26% of South Africa’s monthly crude imports are currently sourced from Iran.

Throttling supplyOil, diesel and petrol coming through South Africa’s ports and pipelines are crucial to keep the country’s wheels moving, as well as vast parts of the entire continent. Throttling this supply could possibly cause another economic downturn, affecting incomes, jobs and food on the table for families across the nation and large parts of southern Africa.The problem is that finding alternative oil sources to replace Iranian crudes could be

a challenge, says Cape Town analyst Johan Muller of Frost & Sullivan.

‘The most obvious alternative oil sources for South Africa – Nigeria, Angola and Saudi Arabia – have been confirmed by our De-partment of Energy,’ notes Muller. ‘But South African refineries are engineered for a cer-tain oil composition.’

Refineries that currently process Iranian oil will therefore have to adapt in order to process different types of crudes. This could take months and has been estimated to cost USD44 million. This could lead to refineries temporary being unpro-ductive.

The reality is that our broader economy needs constantly working refineries, especially after the frequent and severe un-planned refinery shutdowns in 2011. These impacted on industries relying on refining by-products. Construction – a sector that is already struggling - was for instance affected by bitumen shortages. The shut-down earned public castigation from Min-ister of Energy Elizabeth Dipuo Peters and

drove importation of more than 5 billion li-tres of diesel and petrol.

Impact on Transnet’s MDSTemporary unproductive refineries due to adaptations could result into oil shortages – which could impact Transnet’s rollout of its 2009-2014 National Infrastructure Plan and its ZAR300-billion, seven-year US sanc-tions’ potential (MDS). One of the objectives of this infrastructure overhaul is to increase the throughput of petroleum products by almost sevenfold to more than 20 billion litres.

Also threatened could be the econo-my-boosting intentions of South Africa’s national Infrastructure Plan and even the possible youth policy, which President Zuma punted in June 2012. Ultimately, such economic effects could trickle down to indi-vidual citizens, whether in price increases or job losses.

This, and the fact that South Africa

provides much of sub-Saharan Africa with oil products, has been key to gaining initial American and European sanctions waivers until January 2013.

This does not mean South Africa can sit back and relax. Government has to spend the next months until January 2013 to seek a solution suitable for its own needs that is acceptable to both its traditional trading partners, the EU and US, and its newer allies - China and Russia.

Taking Africa in considerationWith regards to the anti-sanctions BRICS nations, South Africa will also have to keep a close eye on its growing leverage in Africa. These include the close alliances between China and growing powerhouses such as An-gola, Nigeria and Ghana.

Last but not least, the rest of the African continent – in particularly the south-ern part – has to be taken into consideration too. South Africa after all, is not an island on

its own: In 2001, our exports to the rest of Africa amounted R108 billion. Of this, 75% went to Sub Saharan Africa.

High-level sub-Saharan government participation at the 2012 African Renais-sance Conference in Durban - where South Africa’s national Infrastructure Plan was unpacked on a national, regional and con-tinental scale - underlined the high value South Africa places on regional integration.

Energy Minister Peters also affirmed this stance. According to her, the impor-tance of integrating and mobilising the energy structures within the Southern African Development Community (SADC), adding that only South Africa, Angola and Zambia have efficiently working refineries.This whirlpool of allies, alliances and trade relations makes it difficult for South Africa to navigate the oil slicks and sea of changes of international diplomacy, and to choose whether it wants to suffer the socioeco-nomic impact of US sanctions or to abandon carefully cultivated alliances.

The key players in a nutshell

The US: Though declining, the US re-mains the world’s top military power. Putting an emphasis on this position, the country is calling for sanction against Iran – accusing the country of using its nuclear programme for weapons. Iran says its programme will be used for generating energy.

The US is South Africa’s third trade partner and fourth biggest export market, at ZAR61 billion in 2011. It in addition, is a vital source of foreign funding for govern-ment and commercial projects, as well as aid for sectors such as health and education.

The EU: Lining up alongside the US, the EU agreed to stop importing Iranian crude from July 2012. Many individual member states cut back immediately, contributing to Iranian oil exports falling 13% in 2012’s first

quarter. As part of the EU embargo, Euro-pean insurers may not insure oil shipments from Iran - critical as they cover about 90% of the world’s oil tankers.

The EU is South Africa’s 2nd largest trade partner and top export market, amounting to ZAR152.5 billion in 2011.

Iran: Iranian crude oil exports amounted to USD70.7 billion in 2010. In 2009 oil and gas made up 80% of total exports and 60% of total government revenues. Iran’s main weapon against sanctions would be block-ading the Straits of Hormuz, which transits about a fifth of the world’s oil.

Some foreign investors that are deeply involved in Iran’s rich energy reserves include French Total, Dutch Shell, Italian Eni, Norwegian Statoil and South Africa’s Sasol. Some opportunistic clients, such as China, are trying to renegotiate for cheaper prices. India is apparently stockpiling ahead of the sanctions.

China: As Iran’s top oil buyer, an average of 500.000 barrels a day and about 22% of Iran’s production, China refuses to back the US sanctions. China’s stance against sanc-tions increases its geopolitical influence, despite confirming its strategically weak reliance on Iranian oil imports. It has been predicted the Chinese government would back its tanker insurance with sovereign guarantees.

China is South Africa’s third-largest export market, mainly for minerals, at ZAR90.2 billion.

Russia: South Africa’s exports to Rus-sia in 2011 amounted to only ZAR2.2 billion and in recent years, Africa has been margin-al to Russia’s foreign policy. Strategically, though, Samir Saran of New Delhi’s Observ-er Research Foundation has suggested Rus-sia could use BRICS to create an anti-West, anti-American grouping.

One glance at the number of wrecks off the country’s long coastline indicates just how dangerous and unforgiving South Africa’s shore is. The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA), by monitoring practically every vessel movement, plays a key role in ensuring this number does not grow.

From his office Captain Saroor Ali, SAMSA’s regional manager for the East Coast of South Africa, is able to observe almost every the shipping movement that takes place in the Port of Durban. With over twenty years of seafaring experience as a Master Mariner, most of the shipping lines that frequent the port are well known to him.

How does SAMSA identify and monitor vessels? ‘SAMSA monitors and identifies vessels through the AIS (Automatic Identification System). All ships are required to maintain this system on board. It is however the ones that switch them off that cause the prob-lems. We are able to track ships through the

LRIT system (Long Range Identification and Tracking) but at any given time there may be over 1500 ships in the region. The danger of ill-equipped or poorly maintained vessels floundering along our coast always poses a huge threat to the country, both environ-mentally and financially.’

How does SAMSA protect both ships and coastal area?‘We have a continuous monitoring process and casualty response plan in place. There is a dedicated tug on stand-by as well as other vessels to provide assistance in emergen-cies. After assessing the situation, these may be deployed as required. Furthermore we are able to predict the direction in which the disabled vessel would drift and what immediate threat it poses to the environ-ment. Don’t forget we have two major roles to play in such situations: one is to protect the lives of those at sea and the other is to combat pollution, thus preventing environ-mental damage to our coastline. ’

When a ship needs to be salvaged, who pays for it? ‘Normally ships have insurance cover. We would then be in contact with the ship’s agent or owner and they would make arrangements to put up guarantees for the cost of the salvage. The shipping industry is perhaps one of the most regulated indus-tries, but there is always the danger of fly-by-night operators, or unscrupulous owners abandoning the vessel. In such case, the state has to become involved.Fortunately most pass our shores without incident but when things go wrong SAMSA has the task of minimizing the risks to both life and the environment.’

The regulator considered both com-ments from relevant stakeholders as well as the existing regulatory framework in mak-ing its decision and concluded that a 2.76% tariff increase was a reasonable and appro-priate increase. – (BW)

The Port of Durban is set to benefit from Transnet’s ZAR300-billion capital expendi-ture plan. The seven-year strategy intends to transform the company into the world’s fifth-largest rail freight company - shifting the lion’s share of haulage from road onto rail.

The infrastructure investment will al-most double Transnet’s rail freight capacity (from 200 to 350 million tons), especially in commodities such as iron-ore, coal and manganese, significantly reduce the cost of doing business in South Africa, diminish congestion and reduce carbon emissions. Studies have shown that rail is 75% more efficient than road transport.

The multi-pronged strategy also aims to increase container traffic through ports (from the current 79% market share to 92%), expand commodity exports, increase petroleum inland supply, improve productiv-ity and efficiency in rail and port operations,

promote local suppliers, accelerate skills development (with ZAR7.7 billion spent on up-skilling), target youth employment, and triple Transnet’s overall profitability.

The strategy will be funded by operat-ing cash flows and borrowings from capital markets.

Once complete, Transnet will have posi-tioned itself as one of the global role-play-ers in integrated rail freight and commodi-ties transport, and will play a significant role in South Africa’s economic growth. – (NM)

My co-author Chantell Ilbury put it elegantly the other day. We have moved from the In-formation Age to the Age of Intelligence, simply because we now have all the informa-tion at our fingertips. However, real knowl-edge comes from sifting through and intel-ligently interpreting that information for what it means about our future.

Foxes – the animals that is – naturally do that. They have the bright eyes to look around them all the time, to see what is go-ing on in the forest. They have the instinct to recognise the signals for food and danger. Most importantly, foxes have the speed and quality of response to take advantage of opportunities to feed themselves and to escape threats. That is why they survive.

In a highly uncertain time we live in, the intelligence and agility of a fox are required for any organisation to cope with the range of surprises that the future can throw at it. How would, could and should a Port Authority think like a fox? Let me give some examples.

The favourite scenario that Chantell and I are putting forward for the next five years is ‘Hard Times’, a flat-line low economic growth for the global economy as a whole.

In this scenario, offering value for money and being the cheaper alternative are essen-

tial characteristics for a growing business. The questions I would put to the manage-

ment of the Port of Durban are: In handling costs used to ship cargo to your customers, how does your port compare to all other ports? What is unique about your relation-ship to customers? Do they see you as real value for money, even where your competitors can offer a cheaper deal for certain services? Where do you feel you are coming short? What are you going to do about it?

Our second mainline scenario we call ‘Ultra-violet’. In this projection, the Old World econ-omies like America and Europe experience a five-year ‘U’ whereas New World economies like China, India, Africa and South America undergo a V-like recovery. In addition, they grow at least three times faster than their Old World colleagues.

The questions I would ask Port Manage-ment in this scenario are: Does your port have the capacity to handle the extra traffic that will result from Western companies chasing the ‘V’ in Africa and also from the growth in African exports to New World economies? If not, what do you plan to do about it?

Both these scenarios are in play. Both are like a pair of racehorses that are leading the

pack. Which one wins will very much depend on how China performs for the rest of this particular decade.

If China’s economy continues to grow at 8 to 10% per year, then all nations supplying China - including African countries - will do well and we are in ‘Ultraviolet’. Should China fall over a cliff like Japan did in 1990, then it will be ‘Hard Times’ for everyone.

An intelligent fox will take either scenario in his stride, since it is not contra-dictory to offer value for money to custom-ers and expand port facilities in expectation of a higher volume of exports and imports at the same time.

Foxes prepare for all possibilities.

European countries purchase almost a third of all South Africa’s manufactured exports and despite positive developments, the Eu-rozone’s economy is expected to experience a recession this year in the face of wide-spread fiscal austerity and tight bank lend-ing conditions.

‘Therefore the demand for South Africa’s exports is expected to decline,’ says Saijil Singh, lead analyst at Coface South Africa. The Coface Group offers companies around the globe solutions to protect them against the risk of financial default of their clients - both on the domestic market and for export.

North versus SouthSingh explains that the problems in Europe originated partly due to a balance of payment difference between the northern and southern countries. The decrease in competitiveness of the southern European countries, such as Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal, resulted in balance of payments deficits which had to be funded by borrowing from the northern European countries including France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

PREFACEAs the Eurozone crisis seems to worsen, South Africa is feeling the pinch in terms of its exports to largest trading partner Europe. It is not all bad news, however. South Africa is positioned to weather the storm, and some opportunities could mean longer-term benefits.

Under normal circumstances, a balance of payment deficit would merely result in an exchange rate depreciation.However in the Eurozone this is impossible due the single currency.

‘Therefore, a more complicated solu-tion of internal devaluation was developed,’ he says. ‘This involves reductions in costs and expenditure for the southern European countries and an increase in consumption of southern European goods by northern European countries to correct this imbal-ance. The result is less demand for South African goods.’

According to Statistics South Africa, South African exports to the European Union (EU) for the first quarter of 2012 amounted to ZAR36.9-billion. This is almost 23% of our nation’s total exports value. Spain accounted for R1.9-billion of this total, and Greece for just over ZAR152.2-million.

South Africa’s primary exports to the EU are fuel and mining products (27%), machinery and transport equipment (18%) and other semi-manufactured goods (16%).

‘SA is Europe’s largest trading partner in Africa. South African exports to the EU has been growing and the composition of those exports is becoming more diverse,’ says David Hamer, Tradepoint manager at the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber. ‘South Africa is gradually moving from mainly commodity-based products to a more diversified export profile, that includes manufactured products.’

Tradepoint is an international non-governmental, non-profit organisation established in 2000 by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Hamer manages the Nelson Mandela Bay Tradepoint satellite, one of 170 around the world. The branch aims to increase the vol-ume and value of exports from South Africa by identifying and assisting emerging ex-porters to become export ready.

South Africa’s trade relations and development co-operation with the EU are

governed by the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA). This deal was signed in Pretoria on 11 October 1999 and aims, inter alia, to establish a free trade area over a 12 year period covering 90% of bilateral trade.

Hamer stresses that South African ex-ports to Europe have been hit hard by the euro crisis. He explains that the problems in Europe have reduced the available credit to the European business and consumer. In other words: it has become a lot harder for them to borrow money.

‘In addition, the austerity measures brought in by governments to reduce debt levels have reduced disposable incomes at all levels. Although the Rand has weakened in recent months, it has been very strong mak-ing exporting more difficult whilst making European imports cheaper,’ he says.

One of the enterprizes that are keeping a close eye on the Europ crisis, is Maersk Line

Southern Africa. Surprisingly, the shipping company has found that the European mar-ket has remained one of the most stable trades, despite all the problems.

Matthew Conroy, trade and marketing manager at Maersk Line South Africa, says there has been minimal impact on the com-pany’s imports from Europe. On the export side, there have been slight decreases in the market.

‘As an example, fruit volumes to Europe have decreased. However, we have seen in some instances how fruit that normally goes to the EU has been exported to other destinations,’ says Conroy, adding that fruit (deciduous and citrus) is one of Maersk Line’s main export products to Europe. Other exports are wine, tobacco and auto-motive parts. The relations between South African customers and their counterparts in Europe are vital for on-going trade.

Conroy notes that a slight decline has been noted in the general fruit market for Europe. This has been something of the past four years and is not necessarily as a result of the Euro crisis.

While all sectors have been affected, tourism has been hit hard with the downturn in consumer spending by the Europeans and the stronger rand.

Hamer adds that the motor and ma-chinery sector, wine export and agriculture have also suffered. ‘The main commodity exports, such as gold, coal, platinum and so on have held up as despite the strong rand, the sector has been buoyed by demand from China and also a global commodity boom and strong prices,’ he says.

The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA) confirms that the crisis will impact on SA’s vehicle exports. ‘Vehicle exports into Europe were likely to soften as a result of the reces-

sion and debt crisis in the Eurozone,’ the or-ganisation stated.

It is not the first time that economic turmoil in the West have impacted on South Africa. During 2008/ 2009’s global recession, the Rainbow Nation also felt the touch of global influence.

Hamer explains, though, that the current Euro crisis has been like a slow motion car crash. ‘When Lehman Bros failure marked the start of the global crisis in 2008, the writing was on the wall in Europe then. However, for a variety of political reasons, Europe has now diverted attention away to the US and UK until the problems of Greece could no longer be swept under the carpet,’ he says.

He notes that economic power is shifting from West to East and from North to South and the Euro crisis has served to accelerate this trend. ‘South Africa has weathered the events in Europe better than most, whilst the West has been gripped by recession; SA

and other emerging economies have contin-ued to grow,’ Hamer says.

While Europe is still undeniably important, Asia has surpassed Europe as an export mar-ket for South Africa. Should the European sovereign debt crisis not be contained, then this could have significant ramifications for the future. ‘For example, there could be a reduction of European development as-sistance, a further fall in demand for South African exports into Europe,’ Hamer warns. ‘These liquidity risks could affect South Africa’s inflows of Foreign Direct Investment.’

Transnet’s ZAR300 million national infra-structural upgrade will create 15.000 direct jobs and another 220.000 indirect employ-ment opportunities.

‘At the moment our impact in the job market as Transnet is about 368.000 people ... by 2016/17 at the height of the MDS (mar-ket demand strategy), the number of addi-tional jobs that will be created is 220.000,’ Transnet’s CEO Brian Molefe said in May 2012, in response to the budget vote speech by Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba.

The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA) said it expected the South African domestic new motor vehicle sales to grow by 7.5% in 2012.

Commercial vehicle sales too, could ‘sur-prise on the upside’, the organisation said.

Releasing the first quarter statistics in May, NAAMSA director Nico Vermeulen said several factors boded well for higher sales. These factors include a GDP growth rate of 2.9%; prevailing low interest rates; a boost in motor vehicle affordability; new models coming to the market; easier access to finance for consumers and the strong

SOUTH AFRICATransnet to create 15,000 Jobs

The world’s largest container shipping company, Maersk Line, will reduce its global corporate centre employee contingent by 400 (-18%).

Maersk Line chief executive officer Søren Skou said the move was an answer to industry over-capacity and weak freight rates. It aimed to achieve faster decision-making and relocate executive and service tasks to dedicated country offices, aiming to achieve closer customer relationships.

The shipping line division, which employs 25.000 internationally, including 2200 in the global centres, reported a ZAR5.03 billion (US$599 million) loss for the 2012 first quarter. It expected the full-year figures to be down on 2011 despite in-

creased volumes.Meanwhile, Maersk Line won Best Global

Shipping Line and Best Shipping Line Asia-Europe awards at the annual Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards.

Head of sales east China Mike Fang said the victory reaffirmed the company’s focus on reliability, ease of doing business and the environment. He said: ‘It is a solid en-dorsement from our customers for our daily service which has changed the industry by delivering on promises and saving costs.’ – (NJ)Source: www.maersknews.com

GLOBALMaersk reacts to weak figures

Some media misinterpreted the minister’s statements as if Transnet would create over half a million new jobs between 2012 and 2017.

Apart from addressing job creation, Gigaba spoke about Eskom’s expansion

of the energy grid. He said that by 2020, another 11.719MW would come on-line in South Africa and 6500km of transmission network laid.

He expected Transnet to procure 1317 locomotives and 25.000 wagons and replace 6405km of railways for general freight, coal and ore lines by 2020. This would boost rail capacity by nearly 150 million tons. – (NJ)

demand from the rental car industry.

Export sales depended on the global market performance and Vermeulen expected Euro-pean demand to soften due to the recession and euro zone debt crisis. However, higher

exports into Africa, coupled with the Ford global compact new programme and the new BMW three-series export programme, may propel the industry to achieve figures similar or slightly lower than 2011. – (NJ)

Bayhead Natural HeritageThe Bayhead Natural Heritage Site protected since 1995 is a 20-hectare open estuary nature reserve, which inhabits the mangroves and coastal grassland within the harbour.

Only a few-hundred plant species can be found in most mangrove forests around the world (the rain forest has thousands). Three species of mangrove can be found within the reserve namely the red, black and white mangroves. Although they are themselves few in species, the ecosystem these trees create provide a home for a variety of other organisms.

A moderate number of Palaearctic shorebirds can be seen in summer and the Mangrove Kingfisher is sighted during winter. The regenerating big claw fiddler crab can be seen on the intertidal mudflats.

MANGALED & UPROOTED

PREFACEIn the heart of the Port of Durban lies a pocket of mangrove trees, once the largest mangrove swamp in the province; now completely surrounded by industrial development. TNPA, custodians of the Bayhead mangroves, team up with local environmental and community groups to raise awareness on the importance of the self-sustainable estuarine mangal.

The mangroves of the Durban harbour, Feature

2. Kingfisher


Mangroves an intelligent speciesNot many plant species can make it in the mangal. Each mangal presents a unique set of environment challenges and the mix of species is partly determined by the toler-ance of individual species to the physical conditions. To be accepted in their intertidal habitat mangroves have to overcome prob-lems of extreme salinity levels, low concen-trations of dissolved oxygen in the high salt water and floods.

The mangrove response to high salt is suberin - a wax substance on the root, which is highly impermeable to exclude salt from the rest of plant. The scarcity of fresh water available in salty intertidal soils calls for an intelligent solution of limiting the amount of water the mangroves lose through their leaves. High tide brings in salt water that is low in oxygen and rich in bacteria. The bacteria liberate phosphate, sulphides and methane chemicals, which make the soil less nutritious and harmful to plants and fish.

The Red mangroves’ stilted roots prop the trees above water level and the lenticels found on the bark allow them to breathe and absorb carbon dioxide directly from the air (rather than from the soil) and other nutri-ents such as iron, from the inhospitable soil.

Black mangroves can be found on higher ground and make many straw-like root structures, which stick up out of the soil, also covered in lenticels. The carbon fixed

in mangroves is important in coastal food webs.

Protecting our way of lifeGlobal warming has presented real threats of climate change. High rising sea levels and changing weather patterns will bring foreign natural phenomenon (hurricanes and tsunamis) to previously tranquil shorelines.

Mangrove swamps are effective pro-tectors of coastal areas from erosion, and serve as a first line of defence against storm surges and tsunamis. The mangroves’ massive root systems are efficient at dis-sipating wave energy. Likewise, they slow down tidal water to help prevent erosion by stabilizing sediments with their tangled root systems as the tide comes in, leaving all except fine particles when the tide ebbs.

Commercial interests have seen half of the world’s mangroves disappear over the last several decades. The irony is that this coastal biome, threatened by commerce, host commercially important fish and crustaceans while supplying food and medi-cine through their bark, leaves and fruits.


1. The mesh oxygen producing structure of mangroves offers a quiet marine

region for young organisms. The permanently submerged areas of the root

host algae, barnacles, oysters, sponges, and moss animals which require a

hard surface for an anchored filter feed surface created by the sediments

caught by the mesh.

2. Shrimps and mud crustaceans such as the fiddler crab use the muddy

bottoms of the mangrove swamps as their home.


CCITY

TNPA balances profit and sustainabilityTransnet’s important role in investing in a booming economy through an efficient freight transport infrastructure has seen the Port of Durban develop over the decades to respond to South Africa’s demand for commodity exchanges.

The Transnet Market Demand Strategy (MDS) aims to continue this needed devel-opment that will minimise congested con-tainer traffic outside the port and enable service to new age giant vessels.

The importance of Transnet’s business does not shadow their responsibility to the environment they depend on to operate.

A midst various social and environmental partnership programmes is the Port of Durban’s Bayhead natural heritage site. The site is home to the endangered mangroves and has a well-appointed educational centre, which unfortunately has been very under-utilised. In response, Transnet approached non-government environment

organisation Wildlife and Environment Society of SA (WESSA) KZN, conservation group Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and biodiversity research organisation South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), to assist with a special re-launch event, which took place on Monday 19 March 2012. The event was attended by around 50 guests including 12th grade life science students from The Durban Academy and Sithengile Secondary.

The programme aims to bring awareness to the endangered mangrove ecosystem and educate on the importance of coastal biodi-versity conservation efforts.

The heritage site is located on Breede Road at the Langeberg Road entrance to the Durban harbour. Other facilities include a bird hide and a raised boardwalk through the mangroves.
