Dutch Aegir-Marine expands in Africa

Ruud Muis (Director AEGIR): “West-Africa offers great opportunities. There are many ship movements and the offshore industry is significant. Major internationals have ships in this area. However, there is hardly any infrastructure or trained labour available”.

Until now, ship owners had to go to Southern Europe or the Canaries for quality repairs. Walvis Bay Namibia is growing strong as a -geographically- perfect alternative for Europe or South Africa.

Ruud Muis explains: ”Namibia is a politically stable country with good facilities, it is safe and offers motivated labour against competitive costs. And it is much closer to West Africa  than Southern Europe is. I’m really very pleased with this location.”

AAMP is housed in Walvis Bay, Namibia. The office and workshop are located close to a floating dock and slipway. The lot also offers engineering facilities.

For local repairs, AAMP will service any customer-looking-for-quality assistance with propulsion systems. As for repairs in other regions, as well as spare parts AAMP will serve all ship owners in West-Africa, south of the Sahara.

For South and East Africa, AEGIR-Marine will partner with AMP in Cape Town, South Africa. “It’s an exciting new step in the development of our worldwide network,” concludes Ruud Muis.
