Overview
The Ports Regulator of South Africa is comprised of members with competencies in economics, law, accounting, public management/administration who are appointed by the Minister of Transport and supported in their work by a Secretariat headed by the CEO.
The Ports Regulator of South Africa has since 2009 determined the National Ports Authority's tariffs for port infrastructure towards adequate, affordable and efficient port infrastructure and services. The Regulator monitors and approves required revenue that enables the National Ports Authority to implement a CAPEX programme for South African commercial ports to support the country's imports and exports. To address significant and perennial inefficiencies in the port system, the Ports Regulator introduced an incentive/disincentive programme called Weighted Efficiency Gains from Operations (WEGO) to drive necessary behavioural change by the National Ports Authority as landlord over terminal operators, to bring about continuous service improvement and port operational efficiencies. WEGO has seen penalties of over R800 million on the NPA's net profits due to inefficiencies experienced in South African ports since 2018.
The Regulator's pricing strategy is based on a user pay principle where users of infrastructure, facilities or services pay for use and/or benefit. Cross-subsidies and discounts are introduced in terms of the Port Tariff Incentive Programme or Discounts schemes in the tariff book, which are in line with government's strategic objectives and are supported by port users.
