There is a strong demand for reefers as “instant cold stores” in the Namibian market, according to Talischia Rickerts, acting depot operations manager of APM Terminals in Walvis Bay. APM has its own 2 200-TEUa- year terminal with its own 45-ton handler within the port precinct. Both empty and full containers are stored in the terminal. It has 40 reefer points and offers unpack services for certain commodities as well as a reefer repair and maintenance workshop on site.
