The Namibian port authority, Namport, is attracting new shipping lines with bigger carriers to its port of Walvis Bay, according to commercial executive Immanuel !Hanabeb
He said the handling of the 4 253-TEU container vessel, Cosco Kawasaki, at the port earlier this month was a step forward in its goal of becoming a gateway port in the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
The vessel is expected to make regular calls at Walvis Bay following a joint shipping service agreement between Pacific International Lines (PIL) from Singapore and Cosco Shipping.
