There has been strong international interest in a turnkey tender for the design, construction and financing of a new container terminal for the port of Walvis Bay, according to Namport chief executive officer Bisey Uirab. To be built on reclaimed land, the work on the new container terminal includes the building of a quay wall, the supply of ship-toshore gantries, and dredging of the quayside and approach channels where necessary. At the close of the tender on February 18, fifteen companies had submitted their bids. “The tender evaluation process commenced immediately after the tenders were opened and is expected to be completed in a few months’ time,” said Uirab.
