This according to Transnet Port Authority managing executive Earle Peters who addressed media on Thursday.According to online publication The Maritime Executive, the move is part of a “long-planned programme designed to modernise operations and improve efficiency. SA’s ports have long been criticised for inefficiencies, ageing infrastructure and congestion.”
“The company is a global operator. This would allow our employees to also have the same type of exposure globally. It's not limited to SA,” said Peters. When you want control, you also want accountability. We also did not limit any of the bidders to form a consortium or joint venture,” said Peters.
