TPT gets go-ahead to operate manganese terminal
Cabinet has approved the issuing to Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) of a permanent operating licence to operate the manganese container terminal at the Port of Ngqura, near Port Elizabeth.
This is in line with government priorities relating to Operation Phakisa on growing the country’s oceans economy and will result in relocating manganese operations from the ports of Port Elizabeth and Saldanha to the Port of Ngqura.
Transnet Freight Rail is already in the process of upgrading the railway network from South Africa’s manganese-rich Northern Cape to the Port of Ngqura to support axle loads of 26 t.
The route will pass through Postmasburg, Kimberley, De Aar and Cradock on the way to South Africa’s newest deep-water harbour.
The R2.3-billion first phase of the railway infrastructure project will involve the doubling of certain sections and the introduction of new passing loops to accommodate 200-wagon trains using high-voltage locomotives.
