Five-Year review + Volumes

+ Financial ratios

• The launch of the Transnet Africa Locomotive

during April 2017 marked a crucial step in its

strategy of becoming a leading manufacturer and

supplier of rolling stock on the African continent.

• The locomotive, designed, engineered and

manufactured in Africa, is suitable for use on

branch lines and in the yard for shunting, while

also being able to travel on old rail tracks originally

designed to carry light axle loads.

• In addition, the diesel-powered Trans-

Africa Locomotive is appropriate for aged railway

lines that operate on the Cape Gauge system,

offering a cost-effective solution for the majority of

the continent’s railway lines that are currently

unused.

• The fully autonomous safety inspection device (SID)

prototype – one of a kind globally - is used and tested

by Transnet to detect:

• Obstacles such as livestock or humans;

• Defects on the track in front of trains; and

• Cable theft or overhead traction issues.

• A cow-catcher at the front removes small obstacles on

the track, like stones.

• Six engineers spent 18 months developing the concept

and working on the prototype in collaboration with the

CSIR.

Capital investment + Capital investment analysis

+ Major capital deliveries

• DCT Pier 2 deployed 23 new Kalmar straddle carriers

assembled locally, marking Transnet’s commitment to

localisation and industrialisation of the country.

• The substantial capital investment of nearly R308 million will

increase the number of reliable straddle carriers available to

operations and lower the cost of maintenance due to less

equipment failures.

• TPT has sought the services of a global and leading cargo

handling maker, Kalmar, an original equipment manufacturer

(OEM), to supply a substantial portion of the sub-assembled

components for specialised cargo handling equipment of this

nature through Transnet Engineering.

• Phase 1 of the Manganese Rail project is complete and in

operation.

• Maydon Wharf Berths were reconstructed to allow bigger

vessels to berth.

• Transnet achieved multi-product operations of the NMPP in

August 2017.

Although capital investment has declined, the objective of providing capacity aligned to validated demand has been achieved, with R165,6 billion invested over the past 6 years. Transnet deferred certain non-critical capital investment due to the credit rating downgrades which caused a climate of restrained and more costly funding.

• The Sishen–Saldanha railway line, also known as the Iron

Export Line, is an 861 kilometres (535 miles) long heavy haul

railway line.

• It connects iron ore mines near Sishen in the Northern

Cape with the port at Saldanha Bay in the Western Cape. It

is used primarily to transport iron ore and does not carry

passenger traffic.

• Train lengths have been increased to 342 wagons,

employing Radio Distributed Power (RDP) technology. These

The current year’s performance • by 6,1% from the prior year.

• Better performance mainly due to

improved customer demand.

• Port productivity at Port of Durban impacted significantly by severe storms and floods in October 2017 that damaged port infrastructure and equipment extensively.

Improvement initiatives include: • Intensive repairs and maintenance to

damaged infrastructure and port equipment in response to the unanticipated long recovery period from the October 2017 floods and storms;

• Maintenance of minimum work operations during adverse weather conditions, in line with standard operating procedures;

• Optimal utilization of 23 new straddle carriers; and

• Close liaison with shipping lines for improved cargo handling plans (parcel sizes and stowage).

Train turnaround time (hours)

Container moves per ship working hour

While train turnaround times at Durban Pier 1 and Pier 2 improved, performance at Cape Town and Ngqura declined marginally.

Container moves per ship working hour (SWH) negatively impacted by: • Shipping lines significantly changing their

vessel and parcel sizes, requiring adaptations in the allocation of available port resources; and

• Operations in the Port of Durban were impacted by a severe storm in October 2017, which saw a significant amount of equipment being damaged (e.g. cranes & RTGs), temporarily reducing the terminals’ operational capacity.

The terminals recovered from this incident and performance in the last quarter reflected significant improvement.

the train is more than a mobile hospital, it provides out-

reach and educational programmes and has thus far

reached 23,5 million people since it rolled out in 1994,

which makes it the world’s biggest mobile clinic.

Employee fatalities (number)

The Company regrets to report five employee fatalities during the year (compared to fifteen in the prior year). The employee fatalities resulted from a combination of causes such as road vehicle accident and human behavior. Transnet’s leadership has heightened its oversight role of operational performance - and safety performance in particular – in more visible ways through site-visits, and by instituting an integrated systems management approach to ensure the various levels of safety performance are clearly understood and adhered to within the organisation. The Company continues to analyse and review its current safety approach and efficiency, while proactively striving ‘towards zero harm’.

Disabling injury frequency rate (DIFR)

DIFR performance of 0,73 (tolerance: 0,75)

• This is the seventh consecutive year of recording a DIFR ratio below 0,75 due to continued focus and investment in safety.

The Company continues to monitor and mitigate, as best as is possible, considering both operational and behavioural risks that are inherent in a Transnet work environment.
