Construction of Martin's Drift One-Stop Border Post between South Africa and Botswana which lies on the North-South Corridor.

The project scope will cover construction of the first nine deep sea berths at the Lamu Port in Manda Bay to contain Crude Oil and Coal Terminals, General Cargo and Bulk Cargo Terminals.  This may involve some of all of the following activities, i.e. dredging and reclamation; construction of berths and yards; construction of revetment, causeway and road; construction of buildings and utilities; procurement of equipment and tug boats; etc.  

Maydon Wharf is the largest Break Bulk and Dry Bulk precinct in the Port of Durban and in the TNPA ports system. Seven of the 15 berths were constructed 60 years ago of steel sheet piles that are now heavily corroded and at high risk of structural failure. Piecemeal repairs cannot guarantee the structural integrity of the quay walls as they have deteriorated severely and reached the end of their serviceable life. Although restrictions have been placed on the operational loading of these quays to ensure short term safety, they must be replaced as soon as possible for on going sustainable operations. The scope entails the construction of 7 combi steel pile quay walls, inclined grouted anchors with associated cope beams, quayside paving, bollards, fenders and new services. The berths will be dredged and deepened to -14.5m CD with rock scour protection. Phase 1 of the project required the extension of Berth 12 by 12m into the harbour to align with Berths 13 -15 and to create an additional deep water berth to handle large vessels. Phase 2 entails the reconstruction and deepening of berths 1 -4, 13 & 14. Capacity: This project is to sustain the current capacity

National Road No. 01 stretches from Algiers to Mali and Niger over more than 2400 km. It has been twinned for approximately 500 km (between Algiers and Laghouat) and includes a branch towards Tunisia, continuing all the way to Lagos and N'Djamena. The Trans-Saharan route begins from the East/West Highway in the Wilaya of Blida (located 50 km west of the capital Algiers) and extends to Ain Guezzal at the border with the Republic of Niger, covering around 2400 km, with a branch extending to the Republic of Mali. The current state of the Trans-Saharan route is as follows: From the junction with the East/West Highway to the northern limit of the Wilaya of Ghardaia, approximately 580 km, the road is twinned. For 53 km (between the junction with the East/West Highway and the town of Berrouaghia), it has the characteristics of a highway (the works are nearing completion); From the northern limit of the Wilaya of Ghardaia to the town of El Gholéa (El Menea), over 268 km, twinning studies are ongoing, conducted by an Algerian engineering firm; From the southern limit of Ghardaia to Ain Guezzam at the border with Niger, approximately 1257 km, 342 km are under preservation works, while the remaining 915 km require preservation operations (not yet scheduled). The goal is to increase the capacity of the Trans-Saharan route by twinning the remaining 1525 km. It is also noteworthy that the entire length of the Trans-African road is paved. As a prime example of a trans-African project, contributions from African entities to the development and modernization of this axis are highly desired. Objective and Rationale for the Project: This North-South corridor facilitates regional integration. It offers African countries, particularly those in the Sahel, the possibility of access to the Mediterranean Sea and the use of Algerian ports, especially in their trade with European countries. The Trans-Saharan road is connected to the East/West Highway in the Wilaya of Blida (about 50 km west of the capital Algiers). It thus facilitates East/West exchanges, particularly with neighboring countries Morocco and Tunisia.

Initial capacity (phase 1) will be 8.7 blpawhich includes: Installation of 162km of 16-inch pipelines and 555km of a 24-inch trunk line pipeline, three new pump-stations and two metering-stations on the trunk line and two terminals"”one in the Port of Durban (Coastal) and one at Jameson Park near Heidelberg (Inland). Project plan: The approved Phase 1a (Tight lining) Ability to Operate date is 30 November 2017. At this date, the project is forecasted to be operational as a multi-product pipeline operating at 1 080m?3;/h. The Coastal Terminal accumulator tanks have been separated into Phase 1b, for which a business case is currently under review.

This project entails the completion of the container terminal footprint to its full potential. The quay wall infrastructure is completed and provides for four container terminal berths but still requires equipping and operationalisation of the remaining two berths. TPT Operational capacity will increase in two phases from 800000 TEU"’s to 1.5m TEUs (Phase 2A) and then to 2mTEUs (Phase 2B) Additional rail capacity will also be provided on the Ngqura to Gauteng corridor, with additional rolling stock of the Eastern Cape and diversified investment in the rail network. This will be treated as a separate project.

The study of the Ntem River Bridge is part of the Kribi-Campo-Bata maritime route linking the port of Kribi to Cameroon and Bata in Equatorial Guinea. The inter-capital connections study will identify missing links and determine the technical and economic feasibility of the construction of a crossing structure and the development of a single border control post at the border of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. It will make technical, legal and financial recommendations for the management and operation of the Yaounde-Kribi-Bata-Libreville development and corridor.

Upgrading of the Bujumbura-Rumonge-Nyanza Lac-Mugina (RN3) road will improve trade, transport and tourism in the East African region. The road has 3 main sections: 1) Bujumbura-Rumonge (78 km): Studies of its upgrading are ongoing, NEPAD/IPPF funds; 2) Rumonge-Nyanza Lac (45 km): Works are planned, funds from AfDB; 3) Nyanza Lac-Mugina (45 km): Upgrading completed.

The iron ore line is the main export channel for iron ore from the mines in the Northern Cape to the Port of Saldanha. The current capacity of the ore line is 60mt with 58mt for export and 2mt for the domestic market. Transnet plans to expand the corridor by increasing the capacity of the ore line to 75mt due to the increased demand on the ore line. The expansion programme will not only support the 2 major iron ore exporters Kumba and Assmang but also junior and emerging miners. The iron ore corridor contributes significantly to the GDP of South Africa. Incremental capacity solutions will be designed to support further increases in demand up to 90mt in the long-term. The project will also result in the standardisation of the ore line locomotive fleet with a simplified maintenance and operating methodology. The estimated capital requirement for 71mtpa is currently at R15bn (escalated), and includes a new berth, ship loader and stacker-reclaimer. Some rolling stock and rail infrastructure will also be required.

The Richards Bay Expansion Programme (RBEP) was resurrected in 2016 for the development of a Long Term Infrastructure Blueprint (LTIB). The LTIB will provide a roadmap of incremental expansion of the Transnet operated terminals in the Port of Richards Bay (PORB) to capture the growth in general purpose bulk and break bulk commodities of 53.7 mtpa by 2044. In September 2017, the brief of the RBEP was amended to incorporate immediate and medium term capacity constraints of the supply chain to the PORB to enable reinstatement of nameplate capacities. The RBEP has been phased into increase capacity via Operational Improvement (Tranche 1); Reinstatement of Nameplate Capacity (Tranche 2) and Expansion (Tranches 3-5)
