📋 Tender Overview
The Port of Lderitz is on the trajectory note towards economic acceleration as reflected in the countrys Harambee Prosperity Plan. In recent time the Trans Oranje Corridor route that links the port of Lderitz has experienced tremendous volume increment and thus the ideals of becoming a logistic hub is noticeable.Exceptional clientele services from the Port of Lderitz operational team with a world class record of moving more than 10 000 tons per day has culminated in a demand for more mining houses to knock at its door with an intention to make use of the Port. According to the Marketing Specialist at the Port of Lderitz Mr Cecile Kamupingene the Ports current volume has increased from 600 000 tons per annum to more than 800 000 tons and we anticipate this trend to continue.Apart from the above Debmarine Namibias operation is gradually relocating to the Port of Lderitz from Port Nolloth South Africa and as a result an escalation in terms of activities inside the port in comparison to the previous financial year is also noticeable. The port has also recorded a significant increase in passenger vessel calls at the harbour town which directly speaks to an increase in tourism activities. Local taxis and tour bus operators are thus tapping into these opportunities by transporting tourists to heritage sites around the town such as Kolmanskop and the ever popular Diaz Point.Mr Kamupingene further emphasized that we anticipate for a very good year through collaborations and synergy amongst all stakeholders within the logistics industry in order for us to attain our ultimate goal of being a logistics hub in the SADC region and thus we will be able to create more employment opportunities for the locals and in the same vein create niche industries. In the current financial year 20192020 the Port of Lderitz has so far received 8 passenger vessels and is expecting 8 more to call its port as opposed to only 10 vessels that called the same port in the previous financial year 20182019.
