Port of Namibe

Namibe port (UN/LOCODE AOMSZ) serves as a maritime gateway on Angola’s southwestern coast within Namibe Province, operating in the Africa/Luanda timezone (UTC+1). Situated at latitude -15.1978317 and longitude 12.1575544, the facility handles bulk cargo, petroleum products, and general freight, supporting regional trade links to the Atlantic and inland corridors. Its deep‑water berths, cargo‑handling equipment, and proximity to the Namibe Desert mineral zones enhance logistics efficiency for exporters and importers. Ongoing infrastructure upgrades aim to increase throughput capacity, improve safety standards, and integrate with Angola’s national port development strategy, positioning Namibe as a vital node in West African maritime networks today.
