TNPA invites bids for new cold storage terminal at Port of Cape Town

THE Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has invited private sector players to submit proposals for the development and operation of a specialised Break Bulk Terminal focused on cold storage for fish and related products at the Port of Cape Town. This is a move set to bolster the Western Cape's vital fishing industry and enhance South Africa's export logistics.

The project, announced on Wednesday, forms part of TNPA’s efforts to modernise port infrastructure and expand capacity for temperature-sensitive cargo. TNPA issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a terminal operator to finance, refurbish, construct, operate, maintain and eventually transfer the new facility under a 10-year concession.
