About us
The Namibian Ports Authority - Namport (www.namport.com) is a state-owned entity founded in 1994 after Namibia’s independence in 1990. From humble beginnings as fishing harbours in Walvis Bay and Luderitz, the company has embraced the surge in the economies of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in the past two decades. Today, industrial and commercial activities are the biggest industries in Walvis Bay. The Port of Walvis Bay is situated at the West Coast of Africa and provides an easier and much faster transit route between Southern Africa, Europe and the Americas. The Port of Lüderitz, located in the Southern Coast of Namibia caters for Southern Namibia as well as providing access to markets in the Northern Cape of South Africa. Namport was instrumental in establishing the Walvis Bay Corridor Group which seeks to ensure sustainable cargo for the countries of the SADC region and provide the best means of access for their markets. Namport has capacities exceeding 6 million tonnes per annum and over 750 000 TEU’s. Walvis Bay is recognised as a transhipment hub for the entire west coast of Africa serving the major container liners of the region in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. The Ports of Walvis Bay and Luderitz are positioned for the preferred access to markets in Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Zimbabwe, Malawi, Angola and Botswana. These destinations are all well served by corridors established by the Walvis Bay Corridor Group (www.wbcg.com.na):

Honoring the Legacy H.E Dr. Sam Nujoma Namport CEO Andrew Kanime today paid respects by signing the book of condolence underscoring the organization’s deep respect and admiration held for for H.E Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma, the Founding Father and first President of Namibia. H.E Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma, played a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s infrastructure, including the development of the Namibian Ports Authority.

He’s vision for an independent Namibia included a robust maritime sector that could facilitate trade not only within Namibia but also with neighboring countries. Recognizing the strategic importance of ports for economic development, he championed initiatives to enhance port facilities and services. Under his guidance, the government prioritized investments in port infrastructure to support the burgeoning economy. The Board of Directors, CEO, and Staff of the Namibian Ports Authority (NAMPORT) extends heartfelt condolences to Madam Kovambo Nujoma, Former First Lady, the Nujoma and Kondombolo families during this profoundly sorrowful time.

🌊 Protecting Our Precious Ecosystem: Namport & UNAM Partnership 🌱 We are thrilled to announce our ongoing partnership with the University of Namibia (UNAM) as we embark on a comprehensive study to assess the health status of the Walvis Bay Lagoon ecosystem and establish long-term ecological monitoring. The Walvis Bay Lagoon is not merely a body of water; it serves as a crucial habitat for countless species, including migratory birds, making it an essential ecosystem that supports a rich diversity of marine life. Recognized as a Ramsar site, this lagoon holds international significance due to its ecological importance. Since 2016, when we first entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UNAM, we have been committed to monitoring the ecosystem’s health and biodiversity. We view it as our responsibility to ensure the protection and sustainable use of this vital natural resource. Together, we aim to safeguard the future of the Walvis Bay Lagoon for generations to come! 🌍💚 #Namport #UNAM #WalvisBayLagoon #EcosystemHealth #Sustainability
