Editor's Notes
- What does this actually mean:- Currently there are many separate, independent and disparate, non-integrated container facilities within South Africa. Even though these may be owned by transnet, from an end-user perspective they are separate entities, each with their own ideosynchrycies. What is the end result, high cost, low efficiency and effectiveness. What is the objective – the opposite, a single user experience with access to data and information from all sites. Use of technology to reduce administrative and other costs. Is this achievable, we think so! Customers should have the ability to deliver and collect containers from any facility and the use of hub/spoke marine and integrated rail services offered to get cargo to or from the ultimate customer (the importer or exporter). So that is the objective, the reality is somewhat different.
