The NMPP Project which consists of the construction of a 555 km 24 inch petroleum trunkline between Durban and Jameson Park in Gauteng is one of the country's most significant capital investment projects for many years. The pipeline is of national importance and is integral to the logistical supply chain to keep the inland market area supplied with the different grades of fuels.

Presented by Charl Möller Chief Executive Transnet Pipelines

On completion of my Civil Engineering degree (B.Sc. B.Eng.) at Stellenbosch University in 1975, I joined Transnet SOC Limited and have been in the Group for my entire professional career now spanning more than 36 years. I also obtained a commercial degree (B.Com Hons - Transport Economics) in 1987.

During my years in Transnet, I have held various positions ranging from pure engineering (initial stages) to that of planning (strategic and business) before branching into management in 1988. As manager, I have held positions of assistant regional manager in the then Spoornet, general manager at the then Autonet and was finally appointed as Chief Executive of Transnet Pipelines (formerly Petronet) in September 1992, a position I have held since.
