African Rainbow Minerals (ARM) is participating in a bid for the design, construction, and operation of a manganese export terminal at Ngqura port, South Africa. ARM's subsidiary Assmang is part of the Manganese Producers Consortium (MPC), which includes major producers such as South32 and Anglo American.

Transnet plans to relocate its manganese terminal from Gqeberha to Ngqura by 2027, backed by a 127 billion rand investment for infrastructure modernization. The new terminal is expected to increase manganese export capacity by 16 million tonnes, addressing the logistical challenges faced by mining companies in meeting global demand.
