The State-owned Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the appointment of a suitable terminal operator to fund, design, develop, operate, maintain and transfer the liquid bulk and/or green fuel terminals for a concession period of 25 years.

The RFP is part of Phase 1 of the South Dunes Precinct development, which includes five sites identified by the TNPA.

The proposed liquid bulk sites within the South Dunes Precinct are aligned to the Port of Richards Bay Master Plan. These sites will have access to existing berths 208 and 209 and, upon demand, TNPA will prioritise the development of the proposed berth 210 to support Phase 2 of the liquid bulk terminals development.

“The South Dunes development is a major milestone towards achieving the Transnet Segment Strategy. The project prioritises liquid bulk handling, and strengthening of this sector is crucial for the development of the South African economy and furthers our intent of creating capacity for cleaner green fuels, in compliance with the international standards,” says TNPA KwaZulu-Natal Logistics Hub Portfolio director Dr Bridgette Gasa-Toboti.

The TNPA KwaZulu-Natal Logistics Hub Portfolio includes strategic programmes aiming to expand capacity in the ports of Durban and Richards Bay through the delivery of 31 flagship initiatives.

The RFP documents can be accessed through the National Treasury’s e-tender portal and/or the Transnet website.

A non-compulsory RFP briefing session will be held with all interested parties in the Port of Richards Bay on January 19, and the bid closing date is April 30, 2024.
