DTI task team to tackle ‘bottlenecks’ in Saldanha Bay oil, gas industry

Trade and Industry Minister Dr Rob Davies has announced the formation of a Ministerial task team – comprising representatives from the community, the business fraternity, labour and government – charged with addressing challenges in the oil and gas industry, specifically those related to the offshore oil rig industry in the Saldanha Bay industrial development zone, in the Western Cape. The Minister told the Saldanha Bay business community and oil rig management firms during a visit to the Transnet National Ports Authority in the Port of Saldanha on Tuesday that the team would conduct a full four-week audit to identify service bottlenecks in the industry.
