The document discusses the benefits of port centric logistics and developing distribution centers near ports. It notes that as imports have grown, locating distribution centers near ports can reduce transport costs. Ports provide good multimodal transport hubs and port centric strategies can offer lower costs and be more environmentally sustainable. Evidence is needed to make the case for planning and investing in this approach. The document also outlines specific benefits including lower supply chain costs, improved inventory visibility and velocity, reduced road mileage and carbon footprint. It provides examples of port centric operations in the UK and Asia and describes Ust-Luga port and its container and multipurpose terminals as well as plans for a logistics center there.
Transnet Future strategies and meeting increasing expectations of port uses, ...Railways and Harbours
Transnet's strategy involves two supply chain-focused approaches: a corridor-focused strategy to align port and rail capacity and operations, and a container hub strategy to provide supply chain benefits to cargo owners in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. Transnet aims to establish Ngqura as an initial container hub utilizing state-of-the-art facilities and deep draft to attract transhipment cargo. Investments and operational improvements will focus on key corridors to satisfy market demand ahead of schedule in line with a complementary port system.

The document discusses plans to redevelop the spa town of Tskaltubo, Georgia. It notes that Tskaltubo has seen significant year-over-year growth in tourists and is located on a key tourist route near the city of Kutaisi. The town has valuable thermal waters and infrastructure but would benefit from renovating its resort facilities to attract more international, regional, and local visitors. The Georgian government has invested in upgrading Tskaltubo's urban infrastructure as part of efforts to redevelop the town into a modern health and wellness destination.
The document discusses Georgia's service sector and its opportunities for investment. Some key points:
- Services account for 43% of Georgia's GDP and the sector has received major foreign direct investment inflows of $500 million in 2011, with financial services being a leading sub-sector.
- Retail/wholesale trade represents 40% of service sector GDP and has seen strong FDI growth. Healthcare/social work FDI inflows have also grown substantially in recent years.
- Georgia presents opportunities to capitalize on investment in financial services/headquarters and developing as a regional retail hub.
Manufacturing accounts for 14% of Georgia's GDP and 5% of employment. The largest industries are food and beverages at 3% of GDP and metal products at 2.5% of GDP. Georgia has opportunities in manufacturing due to competitive costs, strategic location, and existing raw materials. There are opportunities to substitute imports in food processing, construction materials, and household goods. Two free industrial zones provide tax exemptions to attract large industrial investments such as aluminum and steel production.
Georgia has significant potential to expand its hydropower generation capacity to meet both domestic demand growth and export opportunities. Domestic demand for electricity is projected to increase by 65% by 2020 due to economic growth. Georgia can also export excess hydropower generation as surrounding countries like Turkey and Russia are expected to face power deficits. Georgia's hydropower generation costs are very competitive internationally, around 50% lower than in Turkey. Planned transmission line upgrades will further facilitate power exports. With only 65% of its viable hydropower potential currently exploited, Georgia is well-positioned to capture opportunities from growing regional energy demand.
(1) Agriculture accounts for 9% of Georgia's GDP and 53% of employment, though the average farm size is only 1.22 hectares. (2) Georgia has strengths in wine, nuts, and fruits which make up over 60% of agricultural exports. (3) There are opportunities to increase productivity and substitute imports of meats, dairy, and vegetables while also growing exports of traditional strong sectors like wine and nuts.
