TPT Acting Chief Executive, Logan Naidoo*, said the state-owned port operator had previous experience outside South Africa, which could help to position African ports as the growth engines of their respective economies. This is in support of nine strategic transport sector objectives set out by the African Union and NEPAD (New Partnership for African Growth). These focused on enhanced efficiency of transport infrastructure, services and key transport corridors to strengthen the economic and social development of the African continent.
Key intra-continental initiatives being pursued by TPT include:
offering services such as port terminal operations, consulting, training, equipment maintenance and IT systems to other African ports
regional port planning and port pairing initiatives with other African ports
Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with other African countries.
