Namdock floating dock sinks

Namibia Drydock and Ship Repair (Namdock) confirmed Monday that strong undercurrents caused one of its floating docks to shift southward and the ramp to fall into the water, damaging one of the tanks underneath the dock. Emergency response teams were immediately dispatched.

The focus is firmly on safety and mitigating any potential environmental impact, the company said.
