A state-of-the-art floating docking jetty has been commissioned on Impalila Island in Namibia's Zambezi Region, significantly improving connectivity between the island and the mainland. Designed to adapt to fluctuating water levels, the jetty ensures a safe, efficient, and reliable link for water transport operators, pedestrians, and harbour users. This new infrastructure boosts the harbour's overall functionality, facilitating the smooth movement of goods, services, and visitors, while enhancing accessibility and safety.
