Ettiene Albertus, new chief operations manager, TPT Saldanha.
Transnet Port Terminals (TPT), an operating division of Transnet, has announced changes to management in order to match the growth path for the Saldanha Terminals.
Effective from 1 April, Ettiene Albertus, formerly chief logistics manager at the Saldanha Terminals, assumed the role of chief operations manager at the Saldanha Bulk Terminal.
Leigh Hartnick, formerly the chief operations manager at the Saldanha Bulk Terminal, assumed Albertus’ previous role as chief logistics manager at the Saldanha Terminals.
“In line with Transnet’s market demand strategy – a R300-billion seven-year infrastructure programme to modernise South Africa’s rail, port and pipeline infrastructure – we have decided to effect changes to the current managerial structure of our terminals in Saldanha. The Saldanha Terminals are growing as a business and to ensure that our managerial team meets the demand, we have made these changes in order to stimulate upskilling of the Saldanha management team,” says Velile Dube, TPT’s general manager for Western Cape operations.
Albertus and Hartnick will be reporting to the terminal manager, Robert van Rooyen.
Albertus has been with TPT for ten years during which time he also held the positions of management accountant and key account manager.
Hartnick joined TPT in 2010, from the mining and steel industry, in the role of chief operations manager.
“TPT continues evaluating solutions to ensure that we provide the best services as a world class operator. We are confident that Albertus and Hartnick will pilot their new departments to greater heights,” Dube concludes
