Transnet National Ports Authorities (TNPA)

Transnet Ltd. is the largest state-owned enterprise active in the logistics chain in South Africa. Every day, the company delivers thousands of tons of goods in and around the country. It administers and maintains railways, trains, logistic centres, fuel and gas pipelines, pump stations and cargo terminals in seaports. So it plays a crucial role in the economic growth of South Africa and the improvement of the quality of life throughout the country. The National Ports Authority of South Africa in Johannesburg is a division of Transnet Ltd, with a mandate to control and manage eight commercial ports located on the 2,954 kilometres of the country’s coastline: Richards Bay, Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, Nqqura, Mossel Bay, Cape Town and Saldanha. The markets in the hinterlands of these seaports largely determine the nature and types of cargo handled at each of them. The company is a firm believer in core values such as open and honest communication, service excellence, human dignity and cultural diversity, employee participation and empowerment, integrity in business conduct and the well-being of communities in which they operate.
