The "Cargo
Handling, Storage and Warehousing in South Africa 2018" report
has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report focuses on the loading and unloading of cargo, irrespective
of the transport mode used, and the operation of storage and warehousing
facilities for all kinds of goods, but excludes storage facilities
operated by companies for their own use.
It examines current conditions and discusses the issues, difficulties
and opportunities facing the sector. Also covered are regulatory
developments and initiatives by government and local companies.
The report profiles 51 companies including local subsidiaries of
multinationals such as Santova Logistics, local companies operating
internationally such as Barloworld and Grindrod and several
state-owned enterprises which dominate the sector such as Transnet and
SAA.
Approximately 90% of South Africa's international trade is moved by sea
through Transnet ports in the form of containers, dry bulk, liquid bulk,
break-bulk and automotives. Air freight accounts for a very small
percentage of the total freight moved in, to and from South Africa.
South African exports for the seven months to end-July 2018 increased by
3.6% while imports for the same period increased by 10.2%. Low economic
growth, the volatile currency, poor investor confidence and credit
rating downgrades will have a negative effect on the volume and value of
goods requiring handling, storage and warehousing..
Transnet and South African Airways (SAA) are among the state-owned
entities under the spotlight in the commission of inquiry into state
capture, corruption and fraud in the public sector, while SAA remains
financially vulnerable.
A World Bank report reflects a significant drop in the performance of
South Africa's logistics industry based on factors including customs
efficiency, quality of infrastructure and logistics services, ability to
trace and track consignments and the frequency with which shipments
arrive on time.
South African ports are losing their competitive edge to other African
ports due to their high port tariffs, congestion, berthing delays,
labour unrest, equipment availability and work stoppages.
