Hub concept works for trucker

Walvis Bay is our preferred

port to Zambia and the

Democratic Republic of Congo

(DRC) because of the one border

stop into Zambia

for imports

and exports of

refrigerated

cargo, containers

and breakbulk,

according to

Jakkie van der

Walt, manager

of Swakopmundbased

A van der

Walt Transport.

Large volumes

are expected to come through the

port of Walvis Bay because of port

expansion.

“We believe we are in the right

place at the right time,” he says.

A van der Walt Transport

(Namibia), a fully Namibian-owned

company with its head office in

Swakopmund and branch offices

in Walvis Bay and

Okahandja, was

founded in 1986.

The focus is on

the distribution

of refrigerated,

containerised and

breakbulk cargo

throughout the

SADC region.

In 2012

the company

expanded the

fleet to include chemical tankers

for transporting various types

of chemicals from Walvis Bay to

different uranium mines within

Namibia.
