PORT PLANNING PROCESS
PORT FRAMEWORK PLANS:
 Annually revised;
 Periodically updated; and
 Continuously adjusted as the environment changes (economies, policies, demand,
technology).
IMPORTANCE OF PORT PLANS:
 Ensure that the ports are prepared for demand
• Volume;
• Sustainability; and
• Technology.
 Management of land use.
 Provision of an optimised investment framework for TNPA.

 Investment of estimated R13-15bn in creating new repair facilities at the
SA ports.
• Addressing current challenges at the Port of Durban and Richards Bay
• Depth at Port of Durban.
 Dredging, Berth Deepening, Salisbury Island – additional capacity and
deeper berths.
• Container handling capacity at Richards Bay.

SMART PORT CITIES & EFFICIENT PORTS
15
• Integrated Port Management System (IPMS) with subsequent roll-out to other
ports:
• Durban as first pilot site successfully implemented.
• Cape Town, Saldanha Bay, Port Elizabeth operational.
• Automation of service requests for Marine Services.
• Implementation of TOPS (Terminals), MOPS (Marine), HOPS (Haulier/Road),
ROPS (Rail) Performance Standards for port system.
• Monitoring of port efficiencies and pro-active oversight at ports.
• Establishing Joint Operations Centres (JOC) across the port system to:
• Facilitate joint planning, monitor performance, identify and mitigate
constraints.
• Information sharing and visibility across the value chain.
• Visibility of port performance and KPI’s.

16. 16
SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFORMATION
16
• Ensure that ports provide opportunities to local suppliers and access to
previously disadvantaged to increase ownership at Terminals.
• All new port expansion/terminal opportunities subject to criteria to
transformational agenda.
• Extensions of lease tenure are considered and granted in support of
transformational criteria.

17. KEY MESSAGE
• The port industry is in a state of radical change and
the biggest challenge confronting it is uncertainty.
Since uncertainty is here to stay, we need to
recognize it, manage it, and even try to profit from it.
This requires approaches for port planning and design
that emphasize the importance of flexibility and
adaptability in coping with uncertainties.
RADICAL
CHANGE
• The impact of the global economic downturn is a
daily reminder to ports of the need to change
“business as usual”. The pressures to integrate the
global supply chain; the need for greater port
expansion; and the immediate requirement to
preserve natural resources requires innovative
techniques.
