Trade Ocean director flies high

Trade Ocean is very proud of our Marketing Director, Michelle Kirov, who's been elected as chairperson of the WBPUA (Walvis Bay Port Users Association).

The WBPUA represents the users of the port of Walvis Bay, and strives to achieve competitiveness in relation to other neighbouring ports. "The association's members negotiate with the port, government and private sector to ensure that the rights of members are maintained and enhanced at all times," says Michelle, who's also been a member of the board before her election. "They further provide and arrange opportunities for members to meet from time to time to consider matters of interest."

As chairperson Michelle will have the privilege to become a member of the Board of Directors for the Walvis Bay Corridor Group. "I will need to coordinate and guide the committee and members of the association in achieving its aims and objectives, as well as facilitate proper communication between the port authorities and other relevant government institutions," she says.

For Trade Ocean, Michelle's new position demonstrates that our management operate amongst the leaders in our industry. And it certainly gives our company valuable exposure, putting us on the map!
