Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has confirmed the selection of FFS Tank Terminals as the preferred bidder to refurbish and operate an edible-oils liquid bulk terminal at the Port of Cape Town over a 25-year concession period.

FFS Tank Terminals will finance, construct, operate and maintain the brownfield terminal, which covers about 6 280 m² of the port’s liquid bulk precinct, and transfer it back to TNPA at the end of the concession period.

The refurbishment work includes upgrading storage tanks to enhance structural integrity and repurposing the existing import pipeline, which is currently used for vegetable and edible oils.

TNPA said in a statement that the investment would also focus on repurposing the Nautilus facility as well as upgrading gantry and receiving systems.

Once upgraded, the import pipeline will handle additional new cargo types such as caustic soda lye and monoethylene glycol at the terminal.

The capital and maintenance costs have been estimated at R102-million.
