Three large container vessels dock at Walvis Bay

The Namibian Ports Authority (NAMPORT) has announced that there are two roll-on roll-off (RoRo) vessels as well as one-dry bulk vessel currently docked at the port of Walvis Bay. The Dynamic Stricker is offloading 30 000 metric tonnes of sulphur from the United Arab Emirates, destined for Zambia. Namport says the sulphur will be bagged at Walvis Bay before being transported to Zambia on trucks. The two-RoRo vessels, Liekut Valletta and the Glovis Cugor will each offload 389 and 159 vehicles respectively. The vehicles being offloaded from the RoRo vessels are coming from Europe and destined for Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Namport says Namibia enjoys a favourable advantage to be a connecting point to other land-locked countries, due to its strategic location. The port authority says it remains committed to realizing its dream of becoming the best performing world-class port in Africa.
