COVID-19 RISK MITIGATION AND READINESS: CASE STUDY – IMPACT DELAYS IN CAPE TOWN Transnet Port Terminals operates a complimentary port system as a value proposition for shipping lines, planning the visits of multi-port calls as part of an integrated berthing window system as per the CTOC agreements. A typical liner service is used as an example below to illustrate multi-port calls. Additional Transships 6 Reefers left behind 1 2 3 5 4 1 Vessel arrives from Europe and discharges Delayed at CTCT but continues to NCT & DCT Delayed again at CTCT on return leg 2 Vessel sails to NCT and discharges Vessel bypasses NCT & CTCT on return leg leaving Vessel forced to speed on return journey to catch up delays @ fuel cost of $750/ton x 150 ton/day 3 Vessel sails to DCT: discharges and loads Export boxes to make slot @ European Terminals Vessel could still miss slots @ European ports 4 Vessel returns to NCT to loads thereby resulting in boxes having to be transshipped with feeder vessels @ cost of $40k 5 Vessel returns to CTCT to load per day plus fuel 14 6 Vessel departs for Europe Source: Transnet internal, 2020
THE RACE FOR NEW ROUTES FOR ECONOMIC ZONES, HUBS AND “SINGLE STOPS” IS ON AND THE SOUTH NEEDS TO RESPOND. 15 Source: Transnet internal, 2020
LOOKING AHEAD Economy The African continent looks set to suffer its largest ever recession in 2020 but like much of the world. The rebound will be modest across the world, and most countries will emerge from the crisis with heavy baggage in the form of large budget deficits, weak currencies and worryingly large stocks of debt. The recovery across Africa in 2021 will be tempered by the lingering effects of the still-subdued commodity prices and volatility in financial markets. UNCTAD expects the pandemic to reduce global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows by about 40% in 2020-21, a slightly deeper contraction than the 35% recorded during the global financial crisis in 2008-09. South Africa will be burdened by tight credit markets, low levels of private investment, high unemployment and growing levels of poverty - if we do nothing. The challenge for SA – how to change the risk/reward perception Supply Chains As focus is shifted from short-term damage control to longer-term resilience, supply chains are likely to move in new and more geographically dispersed directions. The following trends are anticipated in response to the pandemic: o Homeward bound – Some reshoring and stockpiling. o Regionalisation – Offering nearshoring opportunities. o Globalisation – A mixed approach by diversifying supply chains away from a single country to a region. 16 Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit, 2020
