TNPA issues RFP for appointment of terminal operator at Durban Port

The Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the appointment of a terminal operator to design and transfer a multi-purpose terminal handling agricultural dry bulk and other compatible cargo in the Maydon Wharf Precinct, Port of Durban.

With the precinct extending approximately 145 hectares, featuring 15 berths and boasting capacity of over seven million tons of cargo annually, it primarily serves as a mixed-use area hosting cargo terminal for dry bulk, break bulk, a limited amount of liquid bulk and a small number of containerised units. 

The RFP invites interested parties to submit proposals to design, develop, fund, construct, operate, maintain and transfer the terminal for a 25-year concession period.

“The issuance of this RFP signifies our ongoing and intentional efforts to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of the Port of Durban,” said Nkumbuzi Ben-Mazwi, Acting Port Manager for the Port of Durban.  

“By attracting capable terminal operators, we aim to modernise infrastructure, optimise cargo handling and strengthen the port’s role as a key trade gateway for the region,” he said. 

The site consists of two leases, namely Leases L36049 and L306091, with respective areas of approximately 12 266m² and 12 859m², resulting in a total area of 25 125m².

Lease L36049 is a brownfield site that includes various structures, such as the main administration building, an office block and a workshop.

RFP documents can be accessed on the Transnet e-tender portal.

The TNPA is responsible for the safe, effective and efficient economic functioning of the national port system, which it manages in a landlord capacity. 

It provides port infrastructure and marine services at the eight commercial seaports in South Africa – Richards Bay, Durban, Saldanha, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London, Mossel Bay and Ngqura. 

It operates within a legislative and regulatory environment and is governed by the National Ports Act (Act No. 12 of 2005).
