No part of this document may be utilised without the written permission of Geo Pollution Technologies (Pty) Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Geo Pollution Technologies (Pty) Ltd, was appointed by the Namibian Port Authority (Namport) to conduct a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the proposed Port of Walvis Bay Southern African Development Community (SADC) Gateway (SADC Gateway Port) in Walvis Bay. Strategic environmental assessments are strategic level, systematic decision support processes, aimed at ensuring that environmental and possibly other sustainability aspects are considered effectively in policy, plan and programme making . The Port of Walvis Bay is considered to be a world class trans-shipment and regional import and export location. It is connected to a network of transit corridors and is a first port of call in Africa for many shipping lines from Far East Asia, South America and Europe. A number of transport corridors links southern Africa to the port and the principal ones are: Trans-Kalahari Corridor, Trans-Cunene Corridor, Trans-Caprivi Corridor and Trans-Oranje Corridor. The SADC Gateway Port is a planned expansion of the existing Port of Walvis Bay. Due to land constraints at the existing port, Namport has no choice but to develop the SADC Gateway Port on a new property situated between the Naval Base and Bird Island, north of the currently developed boundaries of Walvis Bay. The development will take place within the port limits to the immediate north of Walvis Bay on an area known as Farm 39. It will comprise of an estimated 1,350 ha of land being converted into the various port terminals and backup facilities. The facilities envisioned for the development are 1) a Liquid Bulk Terminal; 2) a Multipurpose Dry Bulk Terminal; 3) a Coal Bulk Terminal; 4) a container Terminal; 5) Break Bulk/Multi-Purpose Terminals; 6) a Ro-Ro Terminal Area; 7) a Ship Repair Area; 8) a Rail Marshalling Yard; 9) the water area; and 10) some miscellaneous areas and infrastructure. A conveyor system will have to be constructed from the industrial park (Farm 58) to the SADC Gateway Port to carry bulk products like coal, iron ore and manganese to ships. This will be a closed conveyor system to minimize the impact of wind. The development and expansion of port infrastructure is supported by the Vision 2030 of Namibia as well as the 4th National Development Plan. The major benefits of the port expansion are increased employment opportunities, economic development, infrastructure development, and improved logistics for Namibia and southern Africa as a whole. Impacts associated with the development of the SADC Gateway Port is related to services provision and this is mainly the supply of water, electricity, housing and related services as well as an expected increase in traffic volumes throughout Namibia. However, the service providers NamPower and NamWater as well as the Municipality of Walvis Bay seems confident in their ability to cope with increased demands. The Municipality of Walvis Bay has planned and budgeted significantly in their Integrated Urban Spatial Development Framework for the planned SADC Gateway Port. The location of the proposed SADC Gateway Port is regarded as having a low to medium sensitivity with regards to archaeology. It is very important that Namport is aware of the archaeological sensitivity of the area and that archaeological remains, similar to those that have been found at this location, are protected by law. Once plans for the SADC Gateway Port are finalised a full archaeological impact assessment must be conducted which should include mitigation measures to be implemented. This must include the Archaeological Chance Finds Procedure. To identify other environmental impacts Environmental Impact Assessments must be conducted for each phase of the development of the SADC Gateway Port. Special consideration must also be given to the marine environment and the fauna associated with it. This includes mammals and birds found in the vicinity of the proposed development.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 BackgrounD to the stuDy The proposed President’s Link Estate proposal comprises a unique and exciting opportunity for the development of strategically located vacant and unserviced land in the town of Walvis Bay. The main intention is to purchase and develop freehold title of the 111.049 ha, and concurrently working with the Walvis Bay Municipality in bringing forward residential development proposals for the current Walvis Bay Golf Course on Erf 449 in Walvis Bay. The property currently consists of virgin barren lands. Currently approximately 29.2% of the proposed development site is being considered for the proposed development of an 18-hole golf course, a clubhouse, a driving range and a parking area. In addition to this, a new access road will need to be constructed to the proposed new clubhouse. An application will be made for a water use license or permit under the Water Resources Management Act 11 of 2013. In Namibia, applications for Water Abstraction Permits are made to the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry (MAWF). Currently water allocations exist for urban, mining and irrigation applications.

  • Part 2 Supplemental Information Of
    Part 2 Supplemental information of Logistics Hub Master Plan 10. Demand Forecast 10. Demand Forecast 10.1 Introduction The future freight demand relevant to Namibia is forecast for (i) the estimation of potential of transit cargo demand through Namibia, (ii) evaluation of existing infrastructure such as road and railway for the future growth of freight demand and contribution to planning of improvement and development plan. For that purpose, the future freight demand is forecast considering the growth of international trade of neighbouring countries, assumption of international transit cargo through Namibia and by surface transport modes. The future freight demand is calculated for the following cases. • Target years of demand forecast are 2013 as existing, 2015, 2020, 2025 and further 2045. • For the potential transit cargo through Namibia, international trade of goods between Zambia, Botswana and Europe, America, Angola and South Africa are included. Especially, transit cargo of Zambia and Botswana is forecast for two cases, namely, (i) As a base case, same ratio of existing transit cargo through Namibia of international trade of Zambia / Botswana with Europe / America is applied to future international trade of Zambia and Botswana with Europe / America, and (ii) as a maximum case, 100% of trade of Zambia / Botswana with Europe / America is assumed to pass through Namibia. • Future freight volume by transport mode, namely, road and railway is computed by (i) existing modal share by origin, destination and type of commodity, and (ii) proposed socio-economical modal share and service. Source: JICA Study Team Figure 10.1: Assumption of potential transit cargo through Namibia 10-1 Master Plan for Development of an International Logistics Hub for SADC Countries in the Republic of Namibia Final Report Appendix Future freight demand prepared by origin and destination (OD) is assigned on the transport network modelled by computer program to confirm forecast volume at section or route of road and railway.

  • 7. Border Infrastructure
    7. Border Infrastructure 7. Border Infrastructure 7.1 Integrated border management 7.1.1 Integration of systems In order to facilitate international trade, there must be an “Integrated Border Management System”, a system to control and facilitate cross-border movement of people and cargo. It consists of an integrated network of several different systems related to border management such as Asycuda (Customs), Navis (Namport), and other systems related to various entities of international trade, and procedures of cooperation and demarcation among the entities. Regarding to the first point, the different systems are not yet integrated in Namibia, which makes trade and the border process time consuming with excessive paper work at present. The current situation is fragmented as shown in Figure 7.1.

A conceptual structure of an “integration of systems” is as shown in Figure 7.2.
