Sustainability Report 2012 - Transnet

Port Terminals“Port Terminals provides cargo handling services at 16 terminal facilities in seven ports to a widerange of customers including shipping lines, freight forwarders and cargo owners. Operations are incontainers, bulk, break-bulk and automotives. We invest in state-of-the-art cargo handling equipment(ship-to-shore cranes, straddle carriers, rubber-tyre gantries, tipplers, conveyors) and manage thelogistics interface with inbound and outbound rail and trucking carriers. In 2011/12 we are proud ofthe implementation of the Navis terminal operating system and the certification of all our terminals toISO standards. A key challenge ahead is to reduce levels of equipment breakdowns at DCT Pier 2 andRichards Bay, to sustain container volume throughput during berth deepening in Durban, and toimprove energy efficiency. Port Terminals aims to become Africa’s port operator of choice.”CEO Karl SocikwaCAPE TOWN CONTAINERTERMINAL EXPANSION Six new Liebherr Super Post-Panamax cranes. 28 new Kalmar rubber-tyregantry cranes.
