Port of Walvis Bay, Commercial port in Walvis Bay, Namibia

The Port of Walvis Bay consists of South Port, a fishing harbour and the North Port under construction as of January 2019. Cargo reaches it through a 6.2 km long, 134 m wide and 12.8 m deep channel. The container terminal expanded in August 2019 to a capacity of 1.065 million TEU, and 3,875 containers can be stored at once.

Walvis Bay was a South African exclave until it was handed over to Namibia in 1994, after which the port experienced a boom. Between 2006 and 2009 Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe signed agreements with Namibia on dry ports for storing and distributing their import and export goods; Botswana opened its in 2015, Zimbabwe in 2019. From May 2014 the harbour was expanded with more berths and a new container terminal, completed in August 2019 at a cost of 4.5 billion Namibian dollars.

Walvis Bay passed from South African to Namibian control in 1994, and the port's growth since then draws shipping traffic from landlocked Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Botswana opened a dry port here in 2015 and Zimbabwe in 2019, storing and distributing their import and export goods. The port also has a small cruise terminal where the St. Helena called on its route to St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.

The port is a working cargo and fishing facility, not a visitor attraction, so access to the quays is restricted. Ships reach the berths through a 6.2 km long, 134 m wide and 12.8 m deep channel. The port comprises South Port, the fishing harbour and the North Port under construction, plus a small sports harbour and a cruise terminal where the St. Helena used to call.

The tug Omanda sank inside the harbour at about 23:00 local time on 13 January 2015; the captain had reported large amounts of water entering the engine room at 19:40 that evening. The cause was never established. The port also keeps a lighthouse at Pelican Point, shipyards and floating docks, and a free port zone.
