Dubai-headquartered Flex Commodities has begun physical bunker supply operations at Walvis Bay, marking its first entry into the Namibian market as part of the company’s wider West Africa growth strategy.
The launch follows a joint venture between Flex Commodities and GAC Investment CC, establishing Flex GAC Namibia to combine international trading capacity with local operational support and regulatory compliance.
According to the company, the venture positions Walvis Bay as a reliable bunkering point along the South Atlantic corridor and provides ship owners with an additional supply option.
“From offshore areas and anchorage positions at Walvis Bay, the company is supplying VLSFO compliant with ISO 8217:2010 and 2017 RMG 380 specifications, along with LSMGO that meets DMA 0.1% standards,” Flex says.
