It is not all hard work and no play
in Namibia.
At the port of Walvis Bay, a
birthday present with a pricetag
of R48 million was shipped
on the GAL vessel, MV Sophie,
from Jacksonville in the USA and
offloaded into the Walvis Bay
harbour.
The birthday present was a
27m luxury yacht weighing 68
tons, according to Manica Group
Namibia spokesman Nolito
Marques.
Special equipment had to be
fitted onto the MV Sophie to lift the
yacht, while representatives of Macs
Super Cargo, the client, the yacht
captain and a surveyor ensured that
the present was loaded carefully.
