TNPA to appoint panel to bridge ‘operational gaps’ at eight seaports

Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) is looking to appoint a panel of qualified service providers as terminal operators to step in and assist in closing “operational gaps” at its eight commercial seaports where terminal operator contracts have been suspended or terminated.

The panel will service eight terminals, including Durban, Cape Town, Richards Bay, Ngqura, Saldanha Bay, Port Elizabeth, East London and Mossel Bay, the State-owned ports authority says in a request for proposal document.
