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.
