The 2024/25 corporate plan for Freeport Saldanha, located at Saldanha Bay in South Africa, outlines its ambition to become a hub for marine manufacturing and services. While initially known for its focus on the green hydrogen sector, the plan identifies new opportunities in the maritime industry. These opportunities include ship and boat building, marine fabrication, repairs, recycling, and offering supporting services. With potential revenue streams from various services, such as commercial boat fabrication and green scrapping, Freeport Saldanha aims to tap into a market that could reach billions in value. Additionally, the plan emphasizes the importance of servicing leisure yacht manufacturing and large commercial vessels, as well as implementing eco-friendly practices like ship fuel upgrades and carbon fitment. However, the plan also highlights challenges that could impede Freeport Saldanha's progress. Policy uncertainty in South Africa and limitations in critical services, particularly electricity, are identified as significant risks. The success of Freeport Saldanha's endeavors in the maritime sector is contingent upon securing agreements with the Port Authority and navigating the complex socio-economic and political landscape of the region. While the corporate plan paints a positive picture of the potential growth in the maritime industry, it underscores the need for a conducive policy environment and strategic partnerships to fully realize these opportunities.
