Sykora, md of APC, the port would only become viable if the Western Rail Line is ceded to a South African company as a concession, which would then allow a major overhaul to be undertaken.

In effect, the APC proposal does not initially include extension of the port breakwaters, hence the perceived lower level of investment.
