An evaluation and assessment of ship repair opportunities for South Africa using the Port of Durban as a case study in an attempt to develop a framework plan for the ship repair industry in the Port of Durban.

Over the last couple of years the ship repair industry in South Africa and in particular

Durban has expanded significantly and the potential and opportunities for growth are still

significant. This should be regarded as a positive sign for the industry that is currently

enjoying a high level of demand for its services. This in turn has far reaching economic

impacts upstream in the economy in terms of employment, revenue and income

generation.

The opportunities currently presented to the industry in the Port of Durban are vast and

require exploitation. The Port of Durban, however, has physical constraints that are at

present being addressed, but also structural and operational inefficiencies that hamper the

full exploitation of such opportunities. The absence of a Development Framework Plan,

in which these opportunities can be exploited, further aggravates the situation, much to

the frustration of local ship repairers.

This dissertation seeks to evaluate and assess opportunities currently presented to the

industry in the Port of Durban. It further seeks to put a framework in place to best exploit

such opportunities. / Thesis (MBA)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.
