Our story
Skeleton Coast Launching runs a round-the-clock offshore launch service exclusively for vessels at anchor in Walvis Bay at the anchorage. Our skippers know the cold Benguela swell, sudden coastal fog and strong southerly winds that define this stretch of the South Atlantic.
From crew changes and emergency supply to provisions, bunker assistance, surveyor drop-offs and critical spares, we get people and cargo alongside safely — and keep agents informed with live tracking from our Walvis Bay base to ship.
