EXT. TRANSNET QUAY — CAPE TOWN · SUPPLIED

Transnet Quay as a filming location.

Working-port scale in Cape Town harbour: a bare concrete apron running to the water, gantry cranes and container stacks against Table Mountain, and a breakwater road walled with containers and dolosse. The industrial frames productions usually can’t get near.

● The short version

The supplied set covers two grounds in the Port of Cape Town: a quay apron with cranes, ships and open hardstanding, and a breakwater with its service road. Port operations set the terms here — access is arranged by Groundglass, who photographed it; enquiries come through EXT.

● THE GROUNDWHAT THE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW

Hardstanding, cranes, horizon.

GRD/01

What the frames give you

A clean industrial stage: hundreds of metres of empty concrete apron with rail lines set into it, big-machine verticals — ship-repair cranes, gantries — and the harbour and mountain as backdrop. The container stacks give instant depth and colour-block walls for action coverage.

GRD/02

The breakwater

A second register on the same water: a bare pier running straight out to sea, and a service road fenced by containers with dolosse breaking the skyline. Both read as anywhere-port — no signage dominates a frame.

● ACCESSOWNERSHIP & ENQUIRY ROUTE

● QUESTIONSFROM PRODUCTIONS

Transnet Quay, answered.

FAQ/01

How do we enquire about filming at the quay?

Through EXT., as with any location in the library — jonny@extlocations.co.uk or 01202 022 158. We brief Groundglass, who hold the relationship and arrange access on the ground.

FAQ/02

Who handles permits and access at the quay?

Groundglass. Cape Town permitting is their domain — they scouted and photographed this location, hold the relationships and arrange access. We do not publish permit routes or fees for supplied locations; terms are confirmed at booking.

FAQ/03

Is this really shootable, being a working port?

That is exactly why it is in the supplied collection: port access is relationship work, and Groundglass hold that relationship. The photographs were taken on the ground; what a production can do, where, and when is settled at booking.
