Liquid bulk terminal project, South Africa
Name of the Project
Liquid bulk terminal project.
Location
Port of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
Project Owner/s
State-owned Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA).
The TNPA appointed FFS Tank Terminals as the preferred bidder to refurbish and operate the proposed liquid bulk terminal for a 25-year concession in March 2026. FFS Tank Terminals will finance, build, operate and maintain the liquid bulk terminal, and transfer it back to TNPA at the end of the concession period.
Project Description
The terminal entails the development of a specialised terminal dealing in edible oils and compatible cargo. The brownfield development will span about 6 289 m² within the Liquid Bulk Precinct.
The scope of the project includes upgrading storage tanks to enhance structural integrity and repurposing the existing import pipeline, which is currently used for vegetable and edible oils.
The investment will further focus on repurposing the Nautilus facility, and upgrading gantry and receiving systems. Once upgraded, the import pipeline will be able to handle additional new cargo types, such as caustic soda lye and monoethylene glycol, at the terminal.
