DP World wins big as bpSA outsources its secondary transport ops
DP World will take over bp Southern Africa’s (bpSA’s) Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Rustenburg logistics operations as the energy group has opted to outsource its secondary transport.
In another deal, Makwande Supply & Distribution – a beneficiary of bpSA’s enterprise development programme – will take over its Durban and East London operations.
bp has operated in Africa for more than a century, with operations from exploration to refining and fuel product distribution.
In South Africa, it was one of the few major industry players still running its own transport operations.
“As a leading provider of smart logistics solutions globally, and one of the largest logistics providers in South Africa, DP World is proud to partner with bpSA in their landmark decision to outsource their secondary transport,” says DP World sub-Saharan Africa logistics COO Mark Rylance.
“This partnership will reap the benefits of combining bpSA’s established customer networks with our expertise in providing value-adding logistics solutions.
“I look forward to this partnership unlocking new opportunities for growth and success for both organisations.”
“The rest of the global bp business also outsources its transport operations,” notes bpSA CEO Taelo Mojapelo.
“Outsourcing the secondary transport business to specialist entities helps improve our operating standards and efficiency, as third-party specialists have the depth and capacity to invest in world-class technologies, driver training and effective monitoring mechanisms.
“We have confidence in the calibre of partners we have selected and look forward to productive and mutually beneficial working relationships into the future.”
