TNPA initiates RFI for Multi-Purpose Terminal at Mossel Bay 

TNPA initiates RFI for Multi-Purpose Terminal at Mossel Bay 

Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has initiated a request for information process for a Multi-Purpose Terminal (MPT) at the Port of Mossel Bay’s Quay 4 precinct. 

The Request for Information (RFI) calls on interested parties to submit proposals to design, develop, finance, maintain and operate an MPT at Quay 4 where breakbulk as well as oil and gas cargo is currently handled. 

With installed capacity of 86 000 tons of breakbulk cargo per annum and a 2040 m² shed, the berth boasts flexibility to handle cargo by mobile cranes or ship gear. 

The RFI seeks to gauge interest on how TNPA can be responsive to market demand and attract the appropriate operator to develop and operate the envisaged Multi-Purpose Terminal at the ports authority’s oldest commercial seaport.

“Our engagements with the agricultural sector, shipping agents and local cargo owners have assisted in providing insight into the type of cargo that can be moved at the envisaged Multi-Purpose Terminal,” said Captain Vania Cloete.

Cloete is the acting TNPA Port Manager for the Port of Mossel Bay in the Western Cape.

“The RFI is the first step towards the pursuit of expanding port operations at Quay 4 beyond the current maritime commercial activities and small-scale multi-purpose operation we currently facilitate in this facility,” Cloete said.
RFI documents can be accessed from the National Treasury’s e-tender publication portal www.etender.gov.za and/or the Transnet website: www.transnet.net. 

Responses to the RFI must be submitted by no later than 29 November 2024 at 4pm. 

After receiving and reviewing RFI responses, TNPA may release a Request for Proposals provided that sufficient information is obtained from the RFI submissions. – SAnews.gov.za

  2. Fun South African Fact: The waters surrounding the 2,500km long coastline are teeming with life. You’ll find great white sharks, African penguins, dolphins and much much more in South Africa’s oceans. Many travellers visit the coast to watch the annual whale migrations. In Hermanus, in the Western Cape, you can see hundreds of whales from June to late November. Simon’s Town, another coastal Western Cape town, is home to Boulder’s Beach. Here you can swim alongside colonies of African Penguins!
