Navy Transportation On the Cards.
In a bid to provide effective and professional logistic support to the South African Navy, the Defence Council of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has approved the running and management of the transformation process of the Simon's Town Naval Dockyard by Armscor.
Announcing the move, defence minister Mosiuoa Lekota said the decision was necessitated to provide effective and professional logistic support to the Navy and also to utilise and manage the Dockyard's capacity on a sound economic and commercial basis.
'The transformation process will be jointly managed by Armscor, the Secretary for Defence January Masilela and the South African Navy and will be conducted in phases,' he explained in a statement.
It is expected that the running and transformation process of the Dockyard would commence on 1 April and would be completed over the next two years.
