The Authority confirmed that they received a score of 19 out of 20 securing a joint second place nationally. “The independent ranking assessed commercial public enterprises over the five year period from 2021 to 2025 against key governance and performance indicators, including transparency through annual report publication, profitability, reliance on government transfers and leadership stability.” This positions Walvis Bay firmly on the global shipping map and creates a long term commercial foundation that will benefit Namibia for decades to come.” “The Port of Walvis Bay is already emerging as the logistics and services hub for Namibia’s offshore petroleum sector, and our international partnerships are accelerating that positioning.”
