DCT RESPONDS TO TERMINAL CONGESTION WITH MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH
Durban, Tuesday 26 September 2017 – Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) has responded to questions that Africa PORTS & SHIPS sent it regarding complaints of chronic congestion at the Port Of Durban Container Terminal, Pier 2, asking specifically what was being done to alleviate these issues.
Yesterday TPT responded to our enquiries. Here is the response:
The Durban Container Terminal (DCT) has adopted a multi-pronged approach to alleviate congestion issues at the terminal. The Transnet Port Terminal [TPT] leadership team, under the guidance of Chief Executive Ms Nozipho Sithole, is working closely with operations with the view to finding sustainable solutions to the current challenges being experienced in the Durban Container Terminals. The interventions adopted include increased availability of equipment, acquisition of new equipment, a robust maintenance regime, Transnet-wide divisional integration and an innovative Truck Booking System.
These are the key interventions that have been activated and that will be intensified to address the current situation:
Equipment and Maintenance
Sithole said that the Transnet Port Terminals’ maintenance team has been working in overdrive to ensure there is increased availability of equipment and to avoid unnecessary delays. Skilled personnel has also been recruited in order to improve the terminal’s maintenance capacity and competency while a senior manager has also been deployed to manage the maintenance function. TPT has also been utilising equipment suppliers to carry out major refurbishments and other maintenance tasks that cannot be carried out by our employees.
“In addition, DCT Pier 2 has acquired 23 new straddle carriers, the first two having being handed over at the end of August 2017 and another five straddle carriers will be available by the end of September. The intention is to expedite the final delivery date from end December 2017 by a number of weeks,” said Sithole.
There are additional interventions, which include:
- partnering with external training providers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) to provide equipment specific training to operators and maintenance teams
- putting contracts with providers of spare parts that are regularly consumed so that they are available at short notice when needed
- The introduction of a preventative maintenance strategy supported by the introduction of extended maintenance hours, from 8 to 12 hours per shift
- The sourcing of 29 additional hauler/trailer combinations to support the hybrid straddle carrier/hauler operation at the DCT. The sourcing process is currently being expedited to ensure delivery happens ahead of time.
Operational Planning and Management
Operational planning and management have been intensified so as to increase operational efficiencies. With effect from Thursday 15 September 2017, a next week’s business planning process on a 14-day window has been introduced for the purpose of matching demand to capacity, land and water side as well as communicating same to shipping lines. The capacity matching includes rail and marine operations. All container terminals will be planned as a system and not standalone entities.
Sithole said that the uptake on the Truck Booking System, which was installed so that trucks call to the terminal by appointment and not have to queue for hours on end, has seen an uptake of more than 70% from truckers in the few months since its installation.
“Regarding the diversion of container volumes to other TPTs’ facilities, this is continuously being pursued with all customers based on capacity, vessel profiles and the maintenance of schedule integrity,” she added.
Human Resources Management
Dealing with delays at DCT is not only about addressing issues of equipment and maintenance but it is also about intervening where human resources management is concerned as it is people that will ultimately operate and repair the equipment. The intervention has seen the deployment of terminal managers on a shift basis across the 24-hour operations as well as the reconfiguration of gangs. TPTs’ management team have engaged labour and are assured of an “all hands on deck” approach during peak periods.
Divisional Integration
TPT’s fellow Operating Division, Transnet Freight Rail [TFR], has also come to the party with interventions of their own to ensure seamless integration which is to the customers’ benefit. These include the introduction of 11 bi-directional trains on the Durban/Johannesburg corridor, continued efforts to introduce additional container rail capacity on the Ngqura rail corridor and, where possible, rail opportunities on the Cape Town corridor will be utilised.
Review of Long Term Operational Processes
Whilst the aforementioned initiatives focus on the immediate challenges being faced, Transnet Port Terminals are also currently reviewing planning and operational processes that will ensure sustainable solutions over the longer term.
These include equipment fleet management plans ensuring optimal fleet utilisation and replacement strategies, the development of a flexible human capital plan that will ensure the provision of terminal gangs being provided timeously in response to container volume demand management and on-going volume demand management processes between Transnet Port Terminals and customers, in order to ensure that projected volumes and Transnet Port Terminals’ capacity and resourcing are aligned.
In closing, Sithole said that some of the initiatives that have been implemented have been partially negated by inclement weather conditions over the past three months which has resulted in a lot of man-hours being lost.
“With some interventions having been already implemented, recoveries have been achieved in some areas while we await recoveries to kick-in in other areas but we remain committed to constantly improving in all aspects of our business. Please be assured of our personal commitment and support to address the current issues at hand. Transnet’s commitment to handle all volumes from both a port and rail perspective remains a priority,” concluded Sithole.

SOUTH AFRICAN PORTS FACE NATIONWIDE STRIKE ACTION TODAY
In a matter unrelated to the report in the story above, Transnet National Ports Authority, Port of Durban, has warned all port stakeholders and clients that the ports face being affected by strike action today.
In a letter emailed to clients, Durban Port Manager, Moshe Motlohi, advised: “Please note that COSATU and its affiliates have given Transnet SOC Ltd notice of its intention to go on strike on the 27 September, therefore the Port of Durban TNPA operations may be interrupted on the said day.”
Motlohi said the port intends…[restrict] invoking its business continuity plans in order to endeavour to minimise the impact of the industrial action.
COSATU has called for the nationwide one day strike to speak out against corruption, state capture, job losses and the use of labour brokers. “The twin evils of corruption and state capture have cost workers their jobs and communities of much needed services,” COSATU said in a statement.
A series of marches has been organised for all the main centres across South Africa. The COSATU affiliated National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said that the National Executive Committee has assessed the NUM state of readiness for the national stay away that has been called by COSATU for today and was satisfied that the message has filtered down to the members.
COSATU said in its own statement that “the federation strongly believes that workers can no longer stand by when our country and wealth is sold to the highest bidder and a particular family. COSATU is calling upon all workers to down tools and close all public and private offices, all shops and industries. This is a National Shutdown and workers must do so by staying away from work. This will be a legally protected strike and no worker will be disciplined or expelled for participating in the COSATU National General Strike.”[/restrict]

NIMASA CALLS ON AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO DEVELOP MARITIME INFRASTRUCTURE
Africa can become the next maritime investment haven.
That’s according to the director-general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Dakuku Peterside, who told delegates at the Africa Maritime Summit held during the recent London International Shipping Week 2017, that Africa has the potential to move into this position.
He said that Africa needs to…[restrict] provide the right competitive operating environment, proper regulation, incentives and infrastructural development to achieve this goal.
Peterside pointed out how Africa’s share of the global import and export container market is rising each year. However, the continent has not yet become a major player in international maritime trade largely because of a lack of strategic attention being given to the sector.
Despite having one of the largest ship registries in the world in Liberia, Africans do not own significant numbers of vessels.
“We are not among top 10 ship owning countries, we are not suppliers of maritime professionals and we are also not a ship financing continent. While an African country is among top 10 global ship registries because Liberia operates an open registry, Africans do not own vessels. In fact, African countries pay 40% to 70% more for freight on imports and exports due to poor infrastructure, high cost of insurance, piracy, low vessel owning capacity and poor ship connectivity,” he said.
Even when it comes to ship building or ship repair and maintenance, these activities provide near zero contribution to the GDP of the continent. Peterside urged African countries to invest in maritime infrastructure, improve cooperation among themselves and explore a continental cabotage regime as recommended in the African Maritime Transport Charter for the benefit of intra continent trade.
Africa is one of the best endowed continents in terms of mineral resources and has 27% of the world’s arable land. Out of 54 African nations, 38 are either coastal or island states.
“Because of our coastline of about 30,725 kilometres hosting 90 major ports and our arable lands, Africa will continue to export agricultural produce. Marine transport accounts for 92% of Africa’s external trades and import, but Africa handles only 6% of global seaborne traffic with six ports in Egypt and South Africa handling 50% of this volume,” the D-G said.
In order to advance intra-continent trade, African countries must invest in new port and terminal infrastructure, ship building, recycling, ownership and maintenance. African countries should be urgently addressing the acute dearth of relevant professionals in the maritime sector, Peterside said.[/restrict]

DURBAN HARBOUR CLEAN UP FOR HERITAGE WEEK
On Friday 15 September Transnet National Ports Authority employees from the Port of Durban rallied together to tackle pollution at the Bayhead Natural Heritage Site, ahead of International Coastal Clean-up Day which was observed globally on Saturday 16 September.
The site is a 20ha nature reserve of mangrove forest and coastal grassland within…[restrict] the industrial area of Durban Bay and adjacent to the Durban Container Terminal, Pier 2. The mangroves play a pivotal role in the ecosystems found on site and are of environmental and historical value.
As the port authority TNPA has the responsibility to control access and ensure that the site is safe and secured for the community.
The Port has a Pollution Control Department that conducts regular clean-up operations at the site. TNPA’s Environment department also works closely with the Department of Environmental Affairs through the Working for the Coast programme which facilitates the clean-up of coastal areas.
There is also a Transnet Education Centre at the site. Challenges include ongoing pollution flowing into the area from rivers and canals, a high incidence of poaching of mammals for use as bait and illegal harvesting of plants for medicinal purposes.

CUNARD TO BUILD FOURTH CRUISE SHIP
Carnival Corporation, the owners of Cunard, has signed a memorandum of agreement with Italian cruise ship builder Fincantieri for the construction of a next generation cruise ship to sail in Cunard colours.
The new ship will become the fourth to sail currently with Cunard, joining Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.
The new 113,000-gt ship is to be built at Fincantieri’s Monfalcone shipyard and will carry…[restrict] 3000 passengers when in service. The ship will become the 249th to sail under the Cunard flag. When she enters service in 2022 Cunard will have four modern cruise ships in service together for the first time since 1998.
“We are very pleased to announce a fourth ship for our immensely popular Cunard brand, which is also one of the most legendary brands in the entire vacation industry,” said Carnival Corp’s CEO Arnold Donald.
“Cunard offers a fleet of unrivalled vessels and one of the most unique travel experiences in the world, which together create an enchanting and memorable vacation for our guests. While today’s news helps drive Cunard’s overall strategic growth plans, we also look forward to launching this next-generation cruise ship to help meet increasing global demand and entice even more travellers to explore the Cunard experience.”
Donald said that fleet enhancement is an important part of Carnival’s ongoing goal to exceed guest expectations. “This includes replacing less efficient ships with more efficient vessels over time as part of our managed capacity growth.”
At this stage there are few details available about the new ship. “Cunard offers unrivalled luxury ocean experiences and the new ship firmly underpins our plans to continue our growth across international markets,” said Cunard’s senior vice president Simon Palethorpe.
“We have only recently marked the 50th anniversary of one of Cunard’s much loved ocean liners, the legendary QE2. What better way to celebrate her important role in Cunard’s past than by announcing our commitment to Cunard’s future with the commissioning of a new ship.”
Details of the new ship are expected to be made public only in 2018. Cunard spent US$90 million on the upgrading and refurbishment of Queen Mary 2 in 2016 and another $40 million on Queen Victoria earlier this year. Queen Elizabeth is expected to undergo a similar upgrade in 2018.

OMC’s DUKC® TECHNOLOGY TAUGHT AT UNIERSITY OF MELBOURNE
Case study examples of OMC International’s DUKC® technology are being taught for the first time at the University of Melbourne as part of a continuing partnership that recognises OMC’s expertise as a world leader in real-time Under Keel Clearance (UKC) management.
University of Melbourne’s Ocean Engineering Professor Alexander Babanin said DUKC® content is being taught as part of an intensive week-long postgraduate port engineering unit developed with the support of Ports Australia and input from the maritime industry.
This Port Access and Navigation unit, started on 25 September running until 29 September, is being taught by Melbourne academics and industry experts including OMC. It is an elective in the Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering Master’s programme at the University of Melbourne, and it is also part of the Port and Harbour Engineering Graduate Certificate which is the only formal qualification in port engineering in Australia and New Zealand.
Professor Alexander Babanin, the course convenor and original academic developer of this unit previously taught at Swinburne University for ten years, said the University of Melbourne was fortunate to have partnered with OMC this year to present some DUKC® course content to the next generation of maritime engineers.
Professor Babanin said “Under Keel Clearance is the single most important issue of shipping in ports, channels and shallow areas, which is not taught in standard engineering programs at universities and so it is a must for this port engineering course. DUKC® is state of the art and we are lucky to have OMC International in Melbourne who help us to teach this specific application.
“We recognise OMC and DUKC® technology as world leading. It should be understood that we are not researchers or practitioners of this technology, we teach it, and in this regard we rely on the standing, reputation and world-wide practice and acceptance of DUKC® and OMC as the leader.
“DUKC® can certainly become a standard education tool for future port engineers if it is promoted for port engineering courses in other parts of the world.”
DUKC® was pioneered in the early 1990s by OMC’s Executive Director Dr Terry O’Brien – a former University of Melbourne academic who established OMC in 1987 – and this technology has since been further developed by OMC’s team of maritime engineers, some of whom are University of Melbourne alumni.
OMC’s customised DUKC® systems are operational in some of the largest bulk, container and multi-cargo ports in the world, including the Pilbara iron ore ports in north Western Australia (beneficiaries include BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group) and in some of the world’s most important waterways, including Torres Strait and Canada’s St Lawrence River from Montreal to Quebec City.
The Port Access and Navigation unit with DUKC® course content, is OMC’s second collaboration with the University of Melbourne. Earlier this year, OMC was chosen as an industry partner to undertake a special research project to develop an integrated modelling system for navigational aid in tidal inlets. Professor Babanin said OMC’s CEO Peter O’Brien is leading the project and the other industry partners are the University of Melbourne, Pivot Maritime International Pty Ltd (Tasmania) and MetOcean Solutions (New Zealand).
Babanin added: “The research part of this project concentrates on wave-current interactions and the leadership of OMC as the industry partner is apparent as currents would contribute to the Under Keel Clearance.”
OMC, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, moved its Melbourne headquarters to larger premises in Trenerry Crescent, Abbotsford in May to house its growing workforce of more than 50 employees, as well as to allow for postgraduate students and short stay collaborative visits with global maritime partners.
Dr O’Brien said OMC was continuing to hire more staff – including graduates from the University of Melbourne – to meet a growing domestic and international workload. He concluded by saying: “This is a response to an increasing recognition of our DUKC® e-Nav technology as the industry standard for safe and efficient real-time management of UKC.”
* On 16 November 2015, OMC’s maritime technology won the prestigious 2015 International Bulk Journal (IBJ) Safety in Bulk Handling (Marine) Award, announced at a dinner in Antwerp.
* On 8 June 2015, in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, Dr Terry O’Brien was appointed a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia for “significant service to maritime engineering, to the development of innovative marine navigation equipment and to education”.

FINALLY THE LOGISTICS MESSAGE ON BREXIT IS BEING HEARD, SAYS UK FTA
“Theresa May’s call for a Brexit transitional period is a huge relief for the logistics industry.”
As the latest round of Brexit negotiations entered their second day in Brussels yesterday (26 September), the Freight Transport Association (FTA) welcomed the call from Prime Minister Theresa May for a transition period to be a key priority for the talks.
FTA, which represents more than 16,000 businesses transporting goods and services across the UK and Europe, has been lobbying for such a period since Article 50 was triggered, to enable the preparation of the…[restrict] necessary systems and processes to ensure that post-Brexit trade can run smoothly.
In the words of Pauline Bastidon, FTA’s head of European Policy: Mrs May’s speech in Florence finally recognised the complexities of the trading relationships and processes which will need to be agreed and implemented and her call for a transitional period, to give enough time for negotiators to conclude a trade agreement, and for authorities and businesses to adapt, is a huge relief for a logistics industry charged with ensuring that trade continues to move smoothly after Brexit.
“The government has finally acknowledged the scale and complexities of the task ahead to ensure frictionless trade across borders with the European Union, both mainland Europe and in Ireland, which will come as a relief to our members, which have expressed concern while facing the task of ensuring that goods and services still reach their destinations.
“It is now imperative that the intentions outlined in Mrs May’s speech are followed by concrete actions. Logistics arrangements affect every part of our daily lives and need to be prioritised in Brexit negotiations. Customers need to be certain that vehicles and planes can keep moving, that drivers can operate across borders and supply chains will not have to face insurmountable challenges overnight on Brexit day.
“Setting up the necessary arrangements for post-Brexit trade will take time and effort to get right and both industry and the authorities deserve some certainty that the status quo will prevail until all parties are ready to proceed with new arrangements. As Mrs May said on Friday (22 September), people, businesses and public services should only have to plan for one set of changes as the country leaves the EU.
“The UK’s trading partnership with the European Union is vital to the future health and growth of the British economy and it is now time for the detail of how these relationships are to develop to be at the top of the Brexit negotiating agenda.
“The country’s businesses deserve to see constructive progress on mechanisms which will be needed in the future, so they have time to plan and implement changes seamlessly. FTA is ready and willing to provide any assistance necessary to ensure that Britain can keep trading efficiently in a post-Brexit world.”
Ms Bastidon also urged clarity from the government’s negotiators on the situation regarding trading arrangements with Ireland, which were missing from Mrs May’s speech on Friday. She concluded by saying: “The trading position with Ireland is a hugely complex one, and creative solutions are required to ensure that a hard border is not established between the Republic and Northern Ireland. Many businesses operate on an “island of Ireland” basis and their business models would be negatively impacted by any changes affecting the fluidity of trade and transport movements across the border. This needs urgent attention at the negotiating table, and FTA, and its sister membership body, FTA Ireland, will be pressing officials this week (w/e 30 September) in Brussels to find a solution which enables Irish trading interests to continue to flourish with both UK and European customers.”
FTA represents the businesses that use or operate freight by any and all modes. Its members operate half of the UK’s lorry fleet (more than 200,000 vehicles) and consign 90% of the goods moved by rail and 70% of the country’s visible exports by sea and air. The sector contributes 11% of the UK’s non-financial business economy. In 2016, 2.54 million people were employed in logistics in the UK, approximately 8% of the UK’s workforce.[/restrict]
FOOTNOTE
This invitation to contribute to the forum was published by the House of Lords at 16h00 yesterday (26 September)
The House of Lords EU Select Committee is today launching a new inquiry, entitled Brexit: deal or no deal? This inquiry will examine the key components of any implementation, or transition period, including its legal basis, the institutional structures that will be needed to support it, and the likely cost to the UK, particularly in form of ongoing budgetary contributions. On the other side of the coin, the Committee will consider the implications of a failure to reach agreement on transition – a ‘no deal’ scenario. Key questions the Committee will consider include:
* Is the Prime Minister’s Florence speech a good basis for the UK and EU to reach agreement in the Article 50 negotiations?
* What potential stumbling-blocks remain? Under what scenarios might the outcome of the negotiations be ‘no deal’?
* What would be the implications, good and bad, of ‘no deal’?
* Is a transition arrangement a necessary component of any lasting agreement, and if so, why?
* What will be the key components of a transition arrangement?
* How will the UK-EU relationship be conducted during the transition period? How long should the transition period last?
The Committee welcomes the views of stakeholders on the issues outlined above. Any submissions should be sent to the Committee, at euclords@parliament.uk, no later than 26 October 2017.

AQUA-TOOLS EXPANDS BALLAST WATER TEAM TO DEVELOP NASCENT MONITORING MARKET
France-based water microbiology specialist aqua-tools has appointed Carine Magdo as its Business Development Manager in a new role aimed at strengthening the company’s position in the nascent ballast water monitoring market.
Magdo, a specialist in microbiology and water quality management, joins aqua-tools following four years’ service with renewable energy producer Albioma, where she provided technical support to its industrial water and environmental operations. This role succeeded six years’ service with Altis Semiconductor, the micro-electronics division of IBM, where she held a variety of senior roles.
“We are delighted to have Carine onboard as part of our ballast water monitoring solutions team,” said Marc Raymond, Managing Director, aqua-tools. “Carine brings…[restrict] to aqua-tools a wealth of water microbiology experience combined with a thorough understanding of the technical support required for all water treatment and monitoring processes. She also has experience of using and analysing Adenosine Tri-phosphates (ATP) in industrial water applications, so will be invaluable in overseeing the ongoing development and market introduction of our second-generation ATP 2G ballast water monitoring technology.”
Magdo added: “With recent reports concerning ballast water treatment reliability, with filters clogging and sensors and flow meters providing spurious readings, I am looking forward to working with aqua-tools to ensure the maritime industry is more fully aware of the importance of ballast water monitoring in verifying system efficiency and regulatory compliance. aqua-tools’ ATP 2G technology is the only monitoring system capable of detecting organisms in all factions: =50µm plankton, =10 to <50µm plankton and bacteria.”
While there are different technologies available for analysing treated ballast water, Magdo pointed out that the disparity between readings from different sampling methods and tools was brought to wider attention in the research paper A Shipboard Comparison of Analytic Methods for Ballast Water Compliance Monitoring, published in 2017 in the Journal of Sea Research.
“The paper highlighted the main findings from an extensive study aboard the 97m research vessel R/V Meteor, which verified the reliability of aqua-tools’ ATP 2G method,” she said.[/restrict]
