South Africa’s State-owned Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has shortlisted three consortia to participate in an upcoming bidding process to design, fund and construct a greenfield deep-water port at Boegoebaai in the Northern Cape, as well as rail infrastructure linking the port to mines in the province. Located some 20 km south of Alexander Bay, which is close to the Namibian border, sun-drenched Boegoebaai has also been earmarked as a possible site for the development of a green-hydrogen hub.
