By “staying close to their customers” the management of the port of Walvis Bay is creating opportunities for importers and exporters in the region, says MACS Namibia line manager Martin Louw.
“Walvis Bay is still considered a safe and effective port,” he says. MACS vessels call on average every nine days south- and north-bound between Walvis Bay and Europe.
“As a line we try to keep the focus on our niche services and ensure we are cost effective. “Our geared vessels are fitted with cranes that can lift up to 240 metric tons. They are also suitable for non-containerised loads, such as bulk, bagged and project cargo,” he says.
According to Louw fish exports have held up well over the past year, “and on the charcoal side we are also glad to see this sector still doing well, and actually growing.”
