In alignment with the UN's 2024 sustainable development framework and South Africa's Green Transport Strategy (2018–2050), Argonaftis is pioneering a cleaner, more efficient maritime logistics solution through its Roll-On/Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) ferry services.

South Africa's transport sector, responsible for a substantial share of national emissions, faces urgent infrastructure and sustainability challenges.
Many roads are gravel and provincial—the need for alternative logistics infrastructure is critical.
Argonaftis directly addresses this with next-generation Ro-Ro ferries, which offer:
Compared to heavy goods vehicle (HGV) transport
Including NOx and particulate matter
Compared to equivalent road transport
Our vessels run on Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) and Ultra Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (ULSFO)—meeting and exceeding the IMO 2020 emissions standards.
With significantly lower emissions per tonne-kilometer than road transport, Argonaftis ferries support key national and global climate targets.
The South African government's Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential Analysis (2014) identifies modal shift as one of the most effective strategies for reducing transport emissions.
Argonaftis is uniquely positioned to deliver this shift, with operational permissions already secured from SADC port authorities, sea trials completed, and multiple MOUs signed with major logistics providers.
Servicing global brands: Toyota • Heineken • BMW
Argonaftis represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape Southern Africa's freight infrastructure—making it greener, more resilient, and future-proof.
With scalable impact and clear ESG alignment, this initiative not only supports economic development and job creation, but positions South Africa as a global leader in sustainable maritime logistics.
