Rail transport options include: full wagon loads in open or closed-top wagons, containers (3m and 6m), tank wagons for liquids and special motor-vehicle transport wagons.

Container Services

Our new dedicated container terminal, the Windhoek Container Terminal (WINCON), is ideally located 397 kilometres from the nearest ocean, close to the Northern Industrial Area in Windhoek. Thus, if your cargo is travelling on the shortest route between Europe or the American and the SADC region, we can make it move even faster.

WINCON is fully accredited with Customs and Excise as an in-bond facility, which means customs clearing procedures are finalised at the customers’ doorsteps within Windhoek. In-bond removal of containers by rail from Walvis Bay to WINCON is offered at no additional cost to the customer.

We offer:

  • A daily door-to-door service throughout Namibia for the transport of deep-sea containers in 6m and 12m sizes.
  • Containerised shipments in mini 1,5m, 3m and 6m own or foreign containers.
  • Handling and delivery equipment that include a 45-ton reach stacker, container side loaders, forklifts, container trailer and truck tractors.
  • Delivery of containers at the customers’ premises on trailers as well as at ground level for easy access.
  • Monitoring and tracking of containers on a fully computerised system, which gives customers fast access to any container movement information they require.
