Milestones for Maersk in Namibia

Yesterday (March 5)
marked a milestone for
Maersk Line in Namibia.
It was the 12th
anniversary of the first call
at Walvis Bay by a Maersk
Line vessel – the Cornelia
Maersk.
On October 1 of the same
year Maersk Namibia was
established and appointed
as general agent for the
AP Moller-Maersk Group.
A year later the first
branch office in Luderitz
was opened.
In another milestone
for the line, the first ever
Namibian managing
director, Dries Oberholzer,
has been appointed
to take over from
previous incumbent
Ingrid Uppelschoten-
Snelderwaard.
