Durban's New Port Manager To Oversee Infrastructure Expansion

Durban's New Port Manager To Oversee Infrastructure Expansion

Date: 2012-08-22
Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has announced the appointment of Thami Ntshingila as Durban's new Port Manager.

Making the announcement at a briefing to stakeholders, TNPA Chief Executive Tau Morwe said Ntshingila's appointment was in keeping with TNPA's organisational transformation geared to align human resources competencies to ensure delivery on Transnet's Market Demand Strategy (MDS).

The MDS will see Transnet expand rail, port and pipeline infrastructure with a R300 billion capital investment programme over seven years.

With mega projects on the drawing board, the Port of Durban which is already the busiest on the African continent, and the biggest in terms of container capacity, is expected to play an even more significant role in the economic growth of South Africa and the African continent.

The port handles 80 million tonnes of cargo worth more than R100 billion each year. Half of South Africa's break-bulk cargo and 65% of all containerised cargo flows through the port with an average of 6800 containers a day being handled at the Port of Durban container terminal, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Morwe said TNPA was embarking on organization transformation to redefine the role of TNPA in terms of the National Ports Act No 12 of 2005 and to deliver on the MDS.

"Ntshingila has been appointed as Port Manager at Durban at an exciting time. He will have a crucial role to play to contribute to the building of an economic infrastructure that will facilitate the movement of goods and reduce the cost of doing business.

"I have every confidence that he will bring to the job his passion, experience and skills within an environment which is conducive to development," said Morwe. Ntshingila has been Port Manager at Richards Bay and his experience will stand him in good stead to oversee TNPA's plans to spend R21.3-billion on expanding and upgrading the infrastructure of Durban harbour, over the next seven years.
