The SBIDZ has undertaken a cost-benefit analysis which comprised indicative designs based on a preliminary options analysis of the investor pipeline, economic and financial modelling and commercial modelling. The four projects, earmarked for the South Western Precinct in the SBIDZ, involve building a south-west precinct pier and jetty, installing a mobile hoist and a 220m ship-lift and lay-by jetty. Access to these facilities would also require dredging a sector of the harbour. The total capital cost for these port-related projects is approximately R3.5-billion.
