The only 100% Namibian marine catering company
What do we do?
Contracted Catering Solutions
At Ocean Catering & Trading, our inhouse catering services deliver high-quality, reliable meals tailored to meet the unique demands of offshore vessels, land-based industrial sites, and institutional facilities across Namibia. We specialise in creating nutritious, culturally appropriate menus that prioritise freshness, safety, and consistency—whether serving crews at sea or staff onshore. With a strong logistical backbone and decades of combined industry experience, we ensure a seamless supply chain, that allows our clients to focus on their core operations while we take care of their catering needs.
Homegrown knowledge
For decades, Namibia’s contract foodservice industry relied heavily on foreign corporations for specialised offshore catering. As the only fully Namibian-owned marine catering company, Ocean Catering & Trading proudly changes that narrative. We’ve quickly established ourselves as a trusted, homegrown partner in the offshore sector—delivering world-class service with local heart. Our integrity, professionalism, and deep understanding of the Namibian landscape have already earned us major contracts, including the supply of all catering and housekeeping services to the Debmarine Namibia fleet of vessels operating in the Atlantic Ocean.
From start to finish
From start to finish, we manage every aspect of outsourced catering and facilities support with precision and care. Our services cover nutritional planning, staffing, procurement, logistics, food storage, and preparation—right through to housekeeping, laundry, and full meal service for day and night shifts. Behind it all is our dedicated in-house Training Department, ensuring every team member is equipped to deliver excellence from the very first plate to the final clean-up.
