MLC Marine & Trading Solutions is a Walvis Bay-based container vanning and cargo survey company specialising in the inspection, certification, and supervised loading of bulk and bagged commodities — with particular expertise in charcoal and coal exports.
As a family-run business with deep roots in the Namibian charcoal industry, we understand the unique challenges of packaging, handling, and shipping sensitive cargo. Our services include container vanning and supervision, thermal infrared imaging and certification, cargo surveying and documentation, coal and charcoal packaging verification, and carrier-ready certificate delivery.
Using FLIR-integrated thermal imaging technology, we produce professional survey certificates accepted by major shipping lines including Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and MACS — tailored to the specific requirements of each carrier we work with.
Our commitment to safety is backed by the NOSA SAMTRAC qualification in occupational health, safety, and risk management, ensuring our operations meet international standards.
As proud members of the Charcoal Association of Namibia, we are dedicated to supporting the growth and professionalism of Namibia’s charcoal export sector — ensuring every shipment leaves Walvis Bay safely, compliantly, and with complete documentation.
