PORT OF WALVIS BAY · EST. 2026

A hungry crew is a grumpy crew.
A delayed ship is an expensive one.

Ship Sheilas gets fresh provisions, cabin stores and deck supplies from the Walvis Bay shore to your galley — cleared, cold-chained, and aboard before your berthing window closes.

WHAT SHEILA BRINGS TO THE TABLE

Three stores. One phone call.

Everything a vessel needs at Walvis Bay, sourced, cleared and delivered by one operator — not three separate suppliers you have to chase.

Fresh & Dry Provisions

Premium nutrition for the crew, sourced through a secure supply chain so high-grade food reaches the galley fresh.

  • Certified meats & poultry from approved export facilities
  • Seasonal produce, optimised for shelf-life at sea
  • Dry, bonded & international pantry stores
Cabin & Accommodation

Comfort and operational hygiene for the long haul, so morale doesn't slip on a long rotation.

  • Galley equipment, catering utensils, durable cleaning agents
  • Premium linens, towels, bedding
  • Crew personal care packages
Technical & Deck Supply

On-demand tools, hardware and safety consumables to keep operations running to the next port of call.

  • Deck hardware & safety consumables
  • Fast-turnaround, on-demand ordering
  • Sourced same-day where the port allows
WHY WE GET PAST THE GATES

Port access, cold chain, biosecurity — handled.

Navigating Namport, DVS and municipal health rules is where most chandling deals go sideways. Here's how it doesn't happen with us.

Cleared
Port Access Control
We exclusively use fully vetted, Namport-permitted vehicles and badged drivers. No gate delays, no excuses.
The Namibian Heat
Cold-chain integrity is non-negotiable. Every perishable travels in temperature-controlled transport so it arrives crisp, not cooked.
Biosecurity Regulations
Full compliance with the Directorate of Veterinary Services for seamless clearance of local meats and produce.
THE SHEILA STANDARDS

Three rules we don't bend on.

STANDARD 01

Iron-clad compliance

We don't do drama at the gates. Strict alignment with Namport security, municipal health standards and DVS regulation, every time.

STANDARD 02

Port-speed logistics

Time is money and tides don't wait. We operate with the agility needed to hit tight berthing windows.

STANDARD 03

No compromise on quality

We hand-pick our commercial partners. If it's not fresh enough for our own table, it doesn't go on your ship.
