Namibia’s leading provider of transport and distribution services, F.P. du Toit Transport (Pty) Ltd, offers a complete bouquet of logistics-related services to its customers. The company’s reputation as a pro-active, cost-efficient and professional service provider in this challenging field spans a period of almost forty years. The fact that over many years the company has managed to continually increase its market share in this highly competitive market, bears testimony to its ability to stay abreast of the growing sophistication in service standards demanded by the market of late and consistently deliver on its promise to customers. It is the company’s philosophy not to participate in the general freight transport market, but rather to focus on building and nurturing long-term partnerships with selected key customers. The company therefore conducts its business almost exclusively in terms of fixed contracts or other firm arrangements. Although diverse in terms of type and method of transport, these customers all have very exacting requirements that are written into the contracts as firm performance parameters. In view of this, F.P. du Toit Transport has always been at the forefront in the development of cost-effective transport solutions, to jointly with the customer meet the customer’s unique transport or distribution needs. With its headquarters in Windhoek, satellite depots in Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa as well as in Tsumeb, Walvis Bay and Keetmanshoop in Namibia support the company’s operations. In response to market demands, the company started to diversify its traditional business of transporting predominantly full loads by the introduction of express and part-load services. Offering specialised distribution services to the wholesale and retail trade followed this diversification. Today almost 70% of our business is conducted in this specific market segment and trades under the name Pro Parcel Namibia. Pro Parcel operates as a separate business division of the company and offers efficient and effective logistical services to most of the leading retail and wholesale chains doing business in Namibia. Inventory for these customers is transported from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban in South Africa on a daily basis and is distributed to all outlets throughout Namibia via our main distribution centre in Windhoek. Over the years the company has introduced a number of value-adding innovations to enhance the services available to its customers. To avoid long delays at the borders due to customs-clearing procedures, an own customs presence by Namibian customs officials has been established at the main distribution centre in Windhoek which is also registered as a bonded container depot . The company has also invested substantial capital in advanced computer technology over the past years. This has placed it in a position where its track-and-trace systems allow the customer to keep abreast of the delivery status of a consignment. All consignments are bar-coded and can be traced from the moment of dispatch until they reach their final destination. The system allows for electronic integration into other software, which enables us to offer on-line services to the customer. The latest business acquisition, Jet-X Couriers, has further increased the company’s scope of service delivery. Ownership of this reputable express courier business placed us in a position where overnight and next-day express road delivery services between Johannesburg and Cape Town to Windhoek for smaller urgent consignments can be offered to our customers. An overnight service between Windhoek and main centres in Namibia will also be introduced shortly. Jet-X also offers regional and international airfreight and clearing and forwarding services. To raise the level and scope of service delivery even more, F.P. du Toit Transport has recently established another subsidiary company that specialises in providing complete and effective logistical solutions to customers. By making use of the services of Africa Logistics (Pty) Ltd, trading as AFLOG, to manage and execute their inbound or outbound logistics chain, customers can now concentrate on their core business. Rather than spending excessively long hours on devising and managing their own logistical solutions, they can now leave this highly specialised function to a professional logistics management company that has an intimate knowledge of the Namibian and African business environment. Willie du Toit is the Managing Director of F.P. du Toit Transport and Dirkie Uys is the General Manager, both being recognised leaders in the Namibian transport industry. They are supported by a team of well-trained and experienced managers in their respective fields of operational, technical and financial management. The group of companies currently employs 324 people. Of particular significance is the fact that most of our drivers have long service records with the company, which enhances the safety standard. In line with the company’s business philosophy, size and growth are not considered to be main drivers. The fleet currently comprises about 100 power units and 140 trailers and is maintained at this level. This ensures that service levels and customer care are kept in line with our high standards. Only state-of-the-art German and American technology is employed in the prime mover fleet of which the entire component employed on the cross-border services are replaced every three years. Furthermore, to stay abreast with the latest technological developments in the transport industry, regular visits are undertaken to trade fairs and manufacturing plants all over the globe. We have one of the most modern and best-equipped heavy vehicle workshops in Namibia at our disposal. Here the emphasis is on preventative maintenance to ensure safe and speedy delivery of goods to their various destinations, especially in the view of the large quantities of time and temperature critical commodities the company handles. Many years of operation gives us the advantage of experience, especially when it comes to operating in neighbouring countries or isolated areas where support is mostly non-existent. We have our own mobile workshop and a light aircraft at our disposal to provide support in these cases.
Our core business is lake transport, shipbuilding, shiprepair, salvaging, craneworks and we are based in Kamanga (Mwanza, Tanzania) and operate in the areas of the entire Lake Victoria connecting Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. We operate our multipurpose cargo vessels on the entire Lake Victoria connecting Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania transporting a wide range of goods such as fuel oil, heavy mining equipment, cotton and many more. We are also experienced in cable laying and salvaging operations. Kamanga Ferry Ship Yard is located in Kamanga where we successfully built and repaired numerous ships for Lake Victoria during the past decades. In cooperation with the Damen Shipyards Group from Holland, we build modern and certified ships that fulfil your requirements. Our heavy duty telescopic cranes that can lift up to 70 tons are used around various building and construction sites. They have also proven great service on our vessels to perform salvage and construction works on the lake.
