The Namibian Ports Authority (Namport) is assessing the possibility of a new container terminal on reclaimed land adjacent to the existing berths in the Port of Walvis Bay. Delta Marine Consultants and CSIR have been appointed by Namport as the environmental assessment practitioner to undertake the necessary studies in terms of the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) so that the impact of the proposed activities can be considered carefully before any decisions are made. In order to address the traffic and roads issues identified in the Draft Scoping Report, CSIR appointed SSI Engineers and Environmental Consultants (Pty) Ltd to undertake a specialist study to assess the impacts that the construction and operation of the extended container terminal may have on traffic conditions, road infrastructure and the safety of other road users. The specialist study must also propose measures and procedures to ensure that negative impacts are limited and positive aspects are enhanced, as well as proposing monitoring requirements.
