The heartbeat of Namibian trade and logistics.
For more than three decades, Namport has managed and developed Namibia's seaports as safe, efficient and competitive gateways serving the nation, the SADC region and the world.
Established by the Namport Act, the Namibian Ports Authority manages and controls the operation of Namibia's ports and lighthouses. From the deep-water quays of Walvis Bay to the southern gateway at Lüderitz, we connect Southern Africa to the Atlantic and to global markets.
