The port has 220 funded posts, of which 133 have been filled and 97 are vacant. Only 26% of the staff is women but the management has training opportunities for women to study and be appointed in the male-dominated fields, like crane drivers. There are no women represented at top and senior management levels. There are programmes to visit rural communities in order to educate school learners about career opportunities in the port and to market the bursary opportunities. For 2012, there are 21 grade 10 learners who are enrolled in Simonstown, 12 students from the Eastern Cape placed at Durban University of Technology and 17 students currently placed at Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
