Port of Walvis Bay: committed to being the gateway to Southern Africa
Namport, Walvis Bay, Namibia
Strategically located half way down the coast of Namibia, with direct access to principal shipping routes, Walvis Bay is a natural gateway for international trade.
Walvis Bay is Namibia's largest commercial port, receiving approximately 3,000 vessel calls each year and handling about three million tonnes of cargo.
It is a sheltered deepwater harbour benefiting from a temperate climate. Fortunately, no delays are caused by bad weather.In order to deal with even higher levels of throughput, Namport have steadily improved its cargo-handling facilities, and remains committed to infrastructure development. Container terminal & equipment The container terminal at the port of Walvis Bay can accommodate grounds slots for 3,875 containers with provision for 424 reefer container plug points. The technical services division, Namtech, provides reefer repair services at the port.

The system computerises aspects such as gate control, ship to shore operations and container yard planning. In addition, clients can arrange remote access to the system. From PTI 43 page 11.
