Namport set on improving efficiency
Comprehensive assessment
A detailed analysis of the entire supply chain at the Namibian Ports Authority revealed a number of areas for improvement.
The Namibian Revenue Agency (NamRa) recently conducted a time release study (TRS) in collaboration with the Port of Walvis Bay.
The TRS is a comprehensive assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of trade procedures and processes, with the aim of identifying and addressing bottlenecks and delays in the movement of goods through the port. It involved a detailed analysis of the entire supply chain, from the arrival of goods at the port to their final delivery, and included feedback from stakeholders such as importers, exporters, customs officials and logistics service providers.
The study was conducted in line with international best practices and standards and aimed to benchmark the performance of the Port of Walvis Bay against other ports in the region and globally.
Work together
The findings of the TRS revealed a number of areas for improvement, including the need for more streamlined procedures for customs clearance, better communication between stakeholders, and improved infrastructure and technology. It also highlighted the importance of collaboration between the various stakeholders in the supply chain and the need for ongoing monitoring and evaluation of performance to ensure continuous improvement.
NamRa and the Port of Walvis Bay have already begun implementing some of the recommendations from the TRS, including the introduction of a single electronic platform for all trade-related transactions, the establishment of a dedicated stakeholder engagement forum, and the expansion of infrastructure at the port to accommodate increased trade volumes.
Improved performance
Overall, the TRS represents an important step towards improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the Port of Walvis Bay and enhancing Namibia's position as a key trade hub in the region. By working together to implement the recommendations of the study, NamRa and the Port of Walvis Bay aim to reduce the time and cost of trade and promote economic growth and development in the country.
