State-owned Transnet subsidiary Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA), in collaboration with Infrastructure South Africa (ISA) and the Industrial Development Corporation, has approached the market for an environmental- impact assessment (EIA), encouraging interested parties to submit proposals for the envisaged liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at the Port of Ngqura.

The request for proposals (RfP) process will see the appointment of a service provider to assess the environmental compliance and sustainability of the proposed LNG terminal.

The EIA process is being carried out in tandem with negotiation of the terminal operator agreement (TOA) between TNPA and Strategic Fuel Fund (SFF) to build and operate, for a 30-year period, an onshore LNG regasification facility at the Port of Ngqura.

The appointment of SFF is the outcome of a Section 79 process and directive issued by former Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula, in accordance with the National Ports Act.

The Port of Ngqura LNG terminal is one of 12 priority infrastructure projects announced in March that hold strategic-integrated-project (SIP) status. The triad strategic partnership is fast-tracking the conclusion of the EIA, with the RfP closing on October 30.
