The event dates have passed. This sourced page is retained as an archive.
The Namibia Tourism Board’s event listing gives Maritime Week dates as 28 September–3 October 2026 and the venue as Walvis Bay. The listing describes an industry gathering about shipping, marine fuel and ocean safety, but does not name a specific building or publish a public day-by-day programme.
For travellers, this is most relevant to people attending maritime or port-industry sessions and to visitors already staying on the coast. Confirm access, meeting location and any registration requirements with the event contact before travelling specifically for the event.
Around Walvis Bay, Namibia Tourism Board highlights the lagoon and waterfront and lists coastal and desert activities across Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. Check directly with an operator for current departures, weather conditions and pickup details.
Why it matters to travellers
Primarily relevant to people connected with shipping, port logistics, marine fuel or ocean safety. It is not presented as a public entertainment calendar, so confirm access and the precise meeting venue before making a special trip.
Safety impact
The listing does not identify a specific public venue or visitor access. Confirm registration, meeting location and current safety instructions with the event contact before travelling.
What to do around the event
Pair a confirmed event session with the Walvis Bay Lagoon or Waterfront, or arrange a coastal or desert activity through a local operator. Swakopmund is about 30 km away and can be added as a separate stop; check transport and activity availability directly.
