Erwin keeps concessioning options open

MINISTER OF Public Enterprises Alec Erwin avoided any firm commitment on Transnet’s port concessioning plans when he addressed the Maritime Conference in Cape Town recently. “The concession of container terminals has loomed large in recent years for understandable reasons. With a better structure for the NPA and SAPO and the planned new investments that we can now be certain of, a number of factors have changed. We have more options along with concessions. We are considering these and will make announcements as we reach conclusions.”
