In loving memory…

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our esteemed colleague, friend, and leader — Willie Esterhuyse, Commercial Executive at NAMDOCK.

Willie was not only a cornerstone of our company; he was a part of its very foundation.
From the early days of NAMDOCK’s journey, he served with unwavering loyalty, vision, and passionate commitment. His fingerprints are on every chapter of our growth — in every partnership built, every challenge overcome, and every milestone reached.

Through calm seas and stormy waters, Willie stood firm. With a spirit anchored in excellence, he gave his best to NAMDOCK, to our people, and to the maritime industry he loved so deeply.

Beyond his professional legacy, Willie will be remembered for his humility, his kindness, and the quiet strength with which he led.

Today, we honour not just the years he gave us —
but the heart, the character, and the future he helped to shape.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Willie’s family, loved ones, colleagues, and friends during this profound time of loss.

Fair winds and following seas, Willie.
You will forever remain part of NAMDOCK’s story.
