There is an alleged complaint from emerging mining companies, as they are unable to access the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT), hence access to the port was largely owned by big mining conglomerates. Furthermore, it was alleged that the big mining companies do not assist emerging companies with machinery. The NPA will include developmental clauses in the business contracts before awarding licences, especially on skills development and support for local businesses. Transnet will undertake a study tour to India to investigate the feasibility of having a dedicated port for coal and how support can be given to small and emerging mining companies.
