Cape Town wants Transnet action after ‘world’s worst container port’ ranking
Despite improvements, the port’s poor performance against its global peers is hurting economic growth, says the city.
The City of Cape Town has called on port manager Transnet to speed up initiatives – including private sector involvement – to improve efficiencies at South Africa’s oldest port.
This comes just days after Cape Town was ranked the world’s worst container port by the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) 2025, produced annually by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence.
