Thesis (MPhil) -- Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is aimed at determining whether the Port of Walvis Bay has what it takes to
become a future hub port on the south-western coast of Africa.
An equally important aspect of this study is to promote Walvis Bay as an economically
viable option for trade in and out of Central and Southern Africa, and what proportion of
traffic Walvis Bay could expect to capture from competing regional ports, especially the
ports of Durban and Cape Town.
The conclusions arrived at in this study indicate that the prospects for transforming
Walvis Bay into a future hub port will depend on the increased involvement of the private
sector, political and industrial stability, as well as regional integration to mention just a
few. It is clear that Walvis Bay does not pose a competitive threat to the ports of Cape
Town and Durban, and can only perform a complementary role. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studiestuk is om te bepaal of die Hawe van Walvisbaai oor die
vermoë beskik om ‘n sentrale hawe vir die suidelike en weskus van Afrika te wees.
‘n Belangrike aspek van die studie is om Walvisbaai te bevorder as ‘n ekonomiese
alternatief vir handel na en vanaf Sentraal en Suidelike Afrika, en om die verhouding van
verkeer te bepaal wat gewen kan word vanaf kompeterende hawens in die streek, veral
die Durbanse en Kaapse Hawens.
Die resultate bewys dat die moontlikhede om Walvisbaai te omskep in ‘n toekomstige
sentrale hawe, alleenlik deur die deelname en samewerking van die privaatsektor,
politieke goeie wil, die industriële stabiliteit van die land en integrasie met buurstate
bewerkstellig kan word. Walvisbaai hou geen kompeterende bedreiging in vir die
hawens van Kaapstad en Durban nie, en kan slegs ‘n komplementerende rol speel.
