Cape Town Container Terminal expansion projectKey milestones for the Cape Town Container Terminal(CTCT) expansion project were achieved in 2011/12. Theaim of the seven-year project, which commenced in 2006,is to double the container capacity from 700 000 TEUs to1 400 000 TEUs per annum. Total budget committed isR5,4 billion.Key aspects of the project include: the Ben Schoeman Basin to allow for larger vessels; the current generation of Super Post-Panamaxcontainer ships; (RTG) cranes that stack containers wider, deeper andhigher; Post-Panamax STS cranes; refrigerated containers, with a total of 2 712 reeferpoints to be served by gantry cranes; and An aggressive recruitment and training programme foroperators of lifting equipment to operate the new cranes.May 2011 saw the completion of major dredging,deepening and refurbishment work at berth 602, thesecond of the four berths undergoing such upgrades.The upgrade resulted in 720m of quay wall being madeavailable to accommodate two large 305m vessels alongthe quay. Old straddle carriers were replaced by six newLiebherr Super Post-Panamax cranes with twin liftcapability and 28 Kalmar manufactured RTG cranes.Additional initiatives included container stacks beingrelocated closer to the berths to reduce travelling timeand promote better efficiency.September 2011 saw the opening of the new truckentrance and staging area. The new entrance comprisesfour lanes and has a fifth lane for abnormal cargo, leadinginto the combined A and P check that serves as a truckand verification point for the terminal. The upgradeprovides tangible improvement in the alleviation of truckcongestion from Duncan Road, which is located within thePort of Cape Town.The CTCT is already enjoying the benefits of theexpansion project with additional capacity of 1 millionTEUs being created and increased productivity. Theterminal was awarded the Productivity SA award during2011 – averaging 30 to 31 GCH per hour.Modernising our transport infrastructure,especially at our ports, is a significantstride towards lowering the cost of doingbusiness in this country, job creation andeconomic growth.
