Namib Poultry Industries (Pty) Ltd is a proudly Namibian company, which started its operations in November 2011. The plant is situated on the Klein Okapuka Farm, about 30 kilometers outside of Windhoek proper. Operations consist of a breeding section made up of three rearing sites and six laying sites, a hatchery, seven broiler sites with five houses each and an abattoir, totaling more than 110 000m². They have six strategically placed depots across Namibia located in Windhoek, Katima Mulilo, Otavi, Ondangwa, Keetmanshoop and Walvis Bay, enabling them to meet customers’ needs. The company purchases and stores diesel for fueling their vehicles and generators. Diesel is sourced from Engen Namibia (Pty) Ltd. ENGEN Namibia (Pty) Ltd is a leading marketer of liquid fuels and lubricants in the country and aims to ensure that all their clients and facilities are compliant with the relevant environmental and industry legislation. It is against this background that Engen has appointed Environam Consultants Trading (ETC) to apply for an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for this site on their behalf. The existing Engen installations have a valid Petroleum Consumer License approved by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The site operations and installation are in accordance with Engen Namibia (Pty) Ltd policies and regulations. Diesel is stored in a 23 000L capacity above ground tank.
