Geared for growth

One of the companies that believes that the opening of the new Walvis Bay container terminal will bring bigger volumes through the port is Interlogix, which has invested in new facilities and software. “We have been investing in Walvis Bay for the past seven years, and we are geared for expansion,” says director Jason Fourie. A 3 600sqm bonded yard has been built next to its existing facility in Walvis Bay, and Interlogix is also the first logistics
company in Namibia to be using a new cloud-based warehouse management system, says Fourie. “Administrative functions such as quoting, invoicing and the generation of stack reports are all cloud-based. “We are looking forward to the opening of the new terminal. It will allow Walvis Bay to handle bigger vessels, which will drive down the costs of the Walvis Bay corridors. “But we expect the growth to be gradual. It will not happen overnight,” he told FTW.
