Port of Walvis Bay New Container Terminal Development
NAMPORT AT A GLANCE
Namport was established in 1994, by act of Parliament;
Mandate is to manage and operate Namibian Ports
The Port of Walvis Bay is Namibia’s largest commercial Port, natural gate way for
regional and international trade.
Port of Luderitz mainly serves the fishing sector and mining industry in the south &
Northern Cape province of South Africa
Vessel visits approximately 3,000, handling 6 million tones of cargo annually
Employees 977, Asset base 7.7 billion
Soon after the integration of WB into Namibia, the Namport commissioned a new port
master plan, which was completed in March 1995;
In 2000, construction of the first container terminal behind berth 1 was completed
From the year 2000 container volumes grew steadily year on year.
As a result Namport had to continuously expand the current container terminal to
try and stay ahead of demand, such that from 2004 not a single year without
construction was experienced in the port;

The existing container terminal’s capacity was steadily increased from 30,000
TEU’s p.a. in 2000, to 355,000 TEU’s p.a. in 2012;
Existing container terminal reached a throughput volume of 340,000 TEU’s in 2011
compared to design capacity of 355,000 TEU’s p.a.;
Container traffic forecasts in 2005 showed that demand will exceed capacity in Walvis
Bay by 2012.
The following slides show how the existing container terminal grew over the last 16
years.

NEW CONTAINER TERMINAL JOURNEY
By 2008 it was realized that it was physically impossible to further expand the existing
container terminal, the new container terminal on reclaimed land project was born.
Several project options or alternatives were analyzed. These options ranged from:
Do Nothing Option;
Extension of berth 1 into the adjacent fishing factory (it would have cost nearly NAD 350 million just to relocate
that fishing factory);
Complete reconstruction of the existing terminal; (major disruption to operations);
Land reclamation in the Southern part of the port; (this project)

NEW CONTAINER TERMINAL JOURNEY
• MAIN PROJECT GOALS
To double the entire ports cargo handling capacity;
To serve as a Gateway terminal for SADC countries, especially landlocked countries;
To enable much needed rehabilitation to be conducted on other heavily utilized infrastructure;
The land reclamation option was chosen because of the following main reasons:
Will more then double the ports container handling capacity, from 355,000 TEU’s p.a., to 750,000 TEU’s p.a.;
Minimal disruption to normal port operations during construction;
Huge room for future expansion by simply adding onto the reclamation;
No sunk costs such as relocation of fishing factories;
No space constraints;
Finally, this option allowed for much needed rehabilitation to be conducted on existing heavily utilized
infrastructure, upon completion
NEW CONTAINER TERMINAL JOURNEY
Brief description of the project:
Construction commenced in May 2014;
Project contains more then 20 contracts;
Biggest contract was an EPC Turnkey contract for 90% of all civil, structural, mechanical
and electrical work including dredging and reclamation.
EPC Contractor: China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), Contract value NAD 3.44
billion
Project Value: R4.2 billion
Funding from African Development Bank for NAD 2.98 billion;
Equity from GRN and Namport;
Completion date = August 2019;
