The companies are all also involved in manufacture of slings , supply and testing and examinations of lifting equipment. I am pleased to say that all three have been recommended and accepted membership. By way of an introduction here is a little biography on each of those companies:. The main goal is to supply the local and foreign onshore and offshore industry with fully traceable lifting, towing and mooring equipment.
In addition to carrying significant stocks of steel wire rope and hardware, the company stocks a range of webbing slings, fibre ropes and other rigging equipment. This division also sources and supplies difficult to find marine technical equipment to vessels in the region. Apart from offshore mining vessel, rig support vessels and oilrig customers, AMS supplies steel wire ropes and fittings to shore-based cranes and the mining industry.
Buoyage systems and fendering are also regularly supplied. All personnel have been trained by Crosby Europe for socketing of wire ropes. Socketing can also be done onboard vessels.
The company has large diameter wire rope handling equipment, including a 40 ton spooling unit, and is in the final stages of adding a 70 ton spooling unit to assist with mooring and towing wire rope inspections and change outs. Benguella Enterprises Pty Ltd was established in in Walvis Bay, Namibia, as a marine equipment supplier and service provider to the local fishing industry.
Today the company is a proud role player in the supply of equipment and services to the Namibian fishing industry and the Port of Walvis Bay, providing for the growing international shipping and marine energy support market.
