| History

Namdock Namibia has rapidly evolved into a pivotal player in the maritime industry since its inception. Located in the port town of Walvis Bay, Namdock has capitalized on its strategic position along key shipping routes. Over a relatively brief period, it has transformed from a modest ship repair facility into a state-of-the-art shipyard, offering comprehensive services that include dry docking, maintenance, and refitting for various types of vessels.

This dynamic growth can be attributed to significant investments in advanced infrastructure and a skilled workforce, positioning Namdock as a cornerstone of Namibia’s maritime and industrial sectors. Its development not only boosts local employment but also enhances the regional economy, reinforcing Namibia’s standing as a critical hub for maritime operations in Southern Africa.
