New Security System

For Ports SA

Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has introduced a new port security system which it describes as state-of-the-art and valued at R843 million. The system will safeguard customer cargo, port users, as well as Transnet's own port assets, staff and contractors, says TNPA.

"The National Ports Act 12 of 2005 and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code of 2004 dictate that we as a port authority implement measures to assist in detecting security threats and take preventative measures against security incidents that may affect ships or port facilities used in international trade," says Richard Vallihu, TNPA Chief Executive.

Phumuzi Sigasa, head of TNPA's Port Security Portfolio said that in conformance with regulations and TNPA's own Integrated Security Management Systems -- Security Strategy Plan, an upgraded security system is being rolled out across all eight South African commercial ports and at TNPA's head office in Johannesburg. "CCTV is but one aspect of our broader integrated technological security system which encompasses technology, skills, systems and procedures," he said.

The newly renovated control room located at the Port of Durban was the first to go live on 12 February 2016. It boasts state-of-the-art video walls for added visibility across the port. Vehicle security within the port perimeters will also be enhanced through license plate recognition.

The high-tech security system will further entrench the position of South African ports as 'smartpeoplePORTS', said TNPA in a statement. Other notable 'smart' port systems include the web-based Integrated Port Management System (IPMS) which was rolled out across all eight ports in 2015, enabling key port operations to be managed online and in real time. Transnet is also looking at ways to make the ports more 'people centric' and accessible to the public while still maintaining safety and security.
