Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has published a request for proposals (RFP) for a terminal operator to design, develop, finance, build, operate and maintain a multipurpose terminal for the handling of citrus and other fruit at the Port of Durban’s Maydon Wharf Precinct.

The terminal will also handle break bulk cargo.

The deadline for RFP submissions has been set for January 26.

Maydon Wharf is the main precinct for general cargo and has been developed in phases since the early twentieth century.

The precinct extends over 145 ha with 15 common-user berths and has a yearly cargo capacity of seven-million tons.

Responses to the RFP will assist TNPA in responding to potential investors in the agricultural industry.

Bidders are required to submit bid responses for the exclusive right to complete the financing, refurbishment, procurement of terminal equipment, operation, maintenance, and transfer of the facility to TNPA after the concession period of 25 years.

The RFP documents can be accessed from the National Treasury’s e-tender portal www.etender.gov.za and/or the Transnet website: www.transnet.net
