From: Assessment of the locational potential of floating offshore wind energy in South Africa
Port | Capability | Remark |
|---|---|---|
Port of Durban | Low | Limited dry dock width, shallow draft, high vessel traffic |
Port of Cape Town | Medium | Suitable depth and dock entrance, sufficient laydown area, but high vessel traffic |
Port of Ngqura | High | Relatively low vessel traffic, large port laydown area, suitable quay depth, prime for expansions |
