About This Seaport
Manganese, fish and offshore-support cargo define Lüderitz far more than containers: this is a multipurpose dry-bulk port serving southern Namibia and South Africa's adjacent Northern Cape. Its roughly 500 m main berth carries about 8.75 m of water and handles mainly dry bulk, above all South African manganese that is stored and re-exported here at around 700,000 tonnes a year. The port also underpins the fishing industry and acts as a base for offshore mining and southern-coast oil and gas work. Because the harbour sits on bedrock, dredging is not economically viable; Namport plans a common-user manganese export terminal and, longer term, a deep-water site at Agra Point. For forwarders, Lüderitz suits bulk and project cargo rather than scheduled container services. Hinterland links run by road and the TransNamib railway. For containers or larger volumes, Walvis Bay, about 254 nautical miles north, is the natural alternative.
