Afrishore operates turnkey offshore supply bases for drilling, renewable and subsea campaigns across Namibia, South Africa & Mozambique. Permanently embedded inside the Port of Walvis Bay's Oil & Gas Section and licensed across the Southern African coast, Afrishore provides the full shore-side operations an operator, rig or vessel needs to stay on schedule offshore.

Running a supply base is the operational core: rigging, cranage and abnormal trucking, warehousing and laydown, temporary importation and customs clearance, project cargo handling, QHSE implementation, waste management and materials management with full reporting, all sequenced to the campaign clock. Afrishore has delivered this from inception to the Deepsea Mira and Deepsea Bollsta Special Periodic Surveys and continuous drilling, the TotalEnergies Brulpadda and Luiperd campaigns, Petronas Rovuma Basin campaign and the Eco Atlantic Gazania-1 programme.

Because the supply base runs alongside Afrishore's vessel and rig agency, integrated logistics and crew services from the same point of accountability, operators get one coordinated shore operation instead of fragmented logistics and supplier chains.
