Three research vessels to call at Walvis Bay

Walvis Bay’s strategic importance as a supply point for offshore research vessels is once more demonstrated with the call at port of three research vessels and two support vessels in course of the next three weeks. The offshore oil and gas research vessel Polarcus Alima are expected alongside today, accompanied by its support vessel Mainport Pine. On 30 January the Dutch oceanographic research vessel Pelagia calls at the port of Walvis Bay and mid-February Meteor, a German sponsored oceanographic research vessel, calls at port. Both these vessels will also be accompanied by their support vessels.
The research vessels are calling at Walvis Bay for supplies, bunkering and often also for crew changes.
