Vessel & Rig Agent: Port of Lüderitz

From Lüderitz, Afrishore acts as full vessel and rig agent for the rigs, drillships, OSVs, PSVs and survey vessels working the Orange Basin, alongside the general-cargo, fishing and ore traffic the port itself handles. The port works two commercial berths to a maximum draft of 8.75 m, with a maximum quayside lift of 28 mt, and Afrishore plans every call and cargo operation around those parameters so vessels berth, work and sail without surprises.

Lüderitz sits on an exposed stretch of the southern Namibian coast and is subject to the prevailing winds, so vessel movements there are occasionally weather-restricted. Afrishore's local team schedules berthing and cargo work around the available weather windows and keeps owners, masters and operators informed throughout – turning a well-known regional factor into a managed part of the plan rather than a disruption.

Coordinated with Afrishore's Walvis Bay base and the wider licensed network, Lüderitz coverage gives operators one accountable agent across the whole Namibian coast: port clearance and port-authority liaison, immigration and crew rotation, husbandry and provisions, bunkering coordination and offshore logistics, all from a single point of accountability.
