Port users invited to comment on valuation methodology for NPA

Port users and interested parties have been invited to submit comment by March 22 on the newly published discussion paper and methodology rules for the valuation of the National Ports Authority’s (NPA) regulatory asset base.

The paper sets out options available and makes recommendations on the “appropriate” asset valuation methodology approach for the NPA, and its implementation.

“The valuation of the regulatory asset base plays an integral part in the setting of tariffs for the NPA,” said a spokesperson for the Ports Regulator of South Africa. “As such the specific valuation methodology approach and its associated incentives and impacts must be taken into consideration.”
