TRL3702ASSIGNMENT 1
SEMESTER 1
2023
, Introduction
Durban Port is one of South Africa's busiest ports, handling a significant portion of the
country's trade with the rest of the world. However, the port is facing several challenges that
are affecting its efficiency and competitiveness. These challenges include congestion, long
waiting times, and inefficiencies that have led to a decline in the number of shipping lines
using the port. In this essay, we will explore the challenges facing Durban Port and propose
solutions that the port authority can implement to address them. We will also examine how
the theories and models discussed in the article "A dynamic model for marginal cost pricing
of port infrastructures" by A.M.P. Santos, J.P. Mendes, and C. Guedes Soares can be applied
to Durban Port.
Challenges Facing Durban Port
Durban Port is experiencing several challenges that are affecting its efficiency and
competitiveness. One of the main challenges is congestion, which is caused by a lack of space
for cargo and inefficient cargo handling processes. This congestion has led to long waiting
times for ships, which can take days or even weeks to offload their cargo. This inefficiency
has led to a decline in the number of shipping lines using the port, as they are looking for
faster and more efficient ports to do business.
Another challenge facing Durban Port is the outdated port infrastructure, which has not been
adequately maintained over the years. This outdated infrastructure is causing delays and
inefficiencies in cargo handling processes, as well as contributing to the congestion at the
port. Furthermore, the port authority has not invested adequately in new technologies that
could improve efficiency and reduce waiting times.
Applying Theories and Models to Address the Challenges
The article "A dynamic model for marginal cost pricing of port infrastructures" proposes a
dynamic model that can be used to address the inefficiencies and improve the
competitiveness of ports. The dynamic model is based on the concept of marginal cost
pricing, which involves charging port users for the actual cost of using the port infrastructure.
The dynamic model proposed in the article could be applied to Durban Port to address the
challenges facing the port. The current fixed tariff structure charged by the port does not
