• At one of the busiest shipping routes, 42.000 ships annually pass Cape of Good Hope
• 12.000 port calls in South Africa, 3.000 in Namibia
• Located between the Angolan oil fields in the west and the Mozambiquean gas fields
in the east

• West coast of Africa one of the richest fishing areas (Benguela current)
• South Africa 2500 km, Namibia 1500 km coast line
• Exclusive Economic Zone 1,5 M km2 and 0,5 M km2 respectively

1. Shipbuilding in South Africa, general
• The South African shipbuilding industry was, starting from the mid 1980’s, for 30 years
in decline. For decades very limited private investment and no public investment into
new facilities.
• The last large vessel (SAS Drakensberg, 144 m) was built in the mid 1980’s after which
no large project has been done in the country.
• Although maintaining a capacity for boat building, only 40 m and smaller vessels in
small volumes have been built in recent time.
• Capabilities have been lost, e.g the once very capable SA Navy dockyard in
Simonstown is in a state of disrepair with very limited capabilities.
• Due to small volumes and no continuity of big projects, rather undeveloped supplier
network.

1. Shipbuilding in South Africa, general (cont.)
• The oil boom in West Africa 2000-2015 created demand for supply and transport
vessels which gave the Cape Town based shipbuilding industry a temporary boost. The
recovering oil price is expeted to restore volumes.
• There are expectations that the new gas fields in Mozambique will bring new business.
• In 2014 new state interest (Project Phakisa) in the ”Blue Economy”, investment in port
infrastructure under way, but yet to significantly boost shipbuilding (please refer to
http://www.operationphakisa.gov.za/operations/oel/pages/default.aspx for details)
• Public procurement looks to be increasing with navy projects, fisheries research
vessels and salvage vessels in the pipe line. In order to support local shipbuilding,
requirements of local build and 60% local content in public tenders.
• Three shipyards for new builds; SA Shipyards, Nautic Africa and Damen. From 2014
new, private investment into shipbuilding in Cape Town (Damen, Nautic Africa).

2. Shiprepair in South Africa, general
• South Africa is on one of the main global shipping routes with several big ports
(Richards Bay, Durban, East London, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Saldanha Bay) which
creates demand for emergency shiprepair and planned maintenance.
• 12.000 port calls in South Africa per year, additional 30.000 ships passing Cape of
Good Hope.
• Five aging dry docks built between 1880 and 1945, owned and operated by the state-
owned logistics company Transnet
– Durban (Price Edward, 352 m)
– East London (Princess Elizabeth 200 m)
– Cape Town (Sturrock 360 m, Robinson 161 m)
– Simon’s Town (Selborn 220 m)
• Shiprepair companies rely on these publicly owned drydocks and some own floating
docks, plans to privatise atleast operation of the dry docks.
• West African oil boom 2000-2015 created demand for maintenance and repair of
supply vessels and specialised oil exploration and drilling vessels
• Hopes that the new gas fields in Mozambique will bring new business

3. Offshore sector
• The West African oil boom 2000-2015 created demand for maintenance and repair of
oil rigs. Some 120 oil rigs are annual towed from the West African oil fields past South
Africa to service facilities in South East Asia (mainly Singapore), Cape Town has
managed to get part of this business, having annually repaired 4-5 oil rigs.
• There are expectations that the new gas fields in Mozambique will bring new business
to Durban.
• The marine diamond mining of the coast of Namibia has traditionally been a main
offshore activity, serviced from Cape Town.
• South Africa does not have dry dock facility capable of handling drilling rigs or the new
generation drill ships. There has however been recent investment in Cape Town in
facilities for servicing oil rigs.
• The deeep sea harbours at Saldanha Bay and Coega are expected to become new
centers for service to the off shore industry. Recent launch of major upgrade of
Saldanha Bay to make it the new national oil & gas industry hub
• The two main shiprepair companies Dormac and DCD Marine (see above) are the two
main players also in the offshore sector, with numerous subcontractors.

12. Oil & Gas Companies in Namibia
• Gas of commercially viable quantities were found in 1973. Despite several efforts this has
not lead to commercial production. Oil has been found in a block outside Walvis Bay and
exploration continues. 32 wells have to date been drilled offshore Namibia.
• Companies active in exploration and drilling include:
• NAMCOR www.namcor.com.na
• Tullow Oil www.tullowoil.com/
• Repsol www.repsol.com
• Murphy Oil www.murphyoilcorp.com
• BP www.bp.com
• Shell www.shell.com
• Chariot Oil www.chariotoilandgas.com
• Galp Energia www.galpenergia.com
• OMV www.omv.com

13. Big Projects, Namibia
• Kudu Gas to Power Project
• Planned 125 mmscf/d gas production, gas will be transported through a 170 km
pipeline to a power station at Uubvlei (Oranjemund).
• Construction of an 885MW combined cycle gas turbine
• Financial Investment Decision expected during 2016
• BW Offshore from Norway has been selected as the preferred Technical Operator
• Port of Walvis Bay expansion 2014-17 (on-going)
• Extension of quay and container terminal
• New tugs
• Second floating dock, to be owned and operated by Dormac

Conclusions
• Potential for future growth, obvious long term and growing demand for maritime
products and services in Southern Africa
• On a global scale, the ship building industry in South Africa will remain small and
mainly produce small vessels below 50m, with isolated larger public sector projects
• Public sector projects plagued by delays and uncertainty
• With improving infrastructure, ship repair a growing sector
• Oil in Angola/Nigeria and gas in Mozambique will be a main driver in the private
sector. Scope for substantial growth in offshore sector if/when the oil price recovers
• Requirements regarding local content and Black Economic Empowerment, local
partnerships a must
• Good-will towards Finland creates opportunities in research partnerships and
academic cooperation
