Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Fisheries minister Derek Klazen believes the addition of two new vessels to the fleet of L\u00fcderitz-based NovaNam will immensely contribute towards the blue growth initiative. He recently made the remarks while officiating at the inauguration of the new vessels acquired by the fisheries group.<\/p>\n

According to Klazen, the acquisition of the vessels will address the fishing giant\u2019s corporate social responsibility philosophy under the pillars of people, planet, product and communities. This philosophy can be met through advanced hardware technology, the modernisation of fishing hardware towards efficient and safe fishing conditions, optimisation of operations, major improvements in working and living conditions on board the fishing vessel for the crew, and access to healthcare facilities on board. Klazen also emphasised the importance of people needing to fish efficiently as the country\u2019s ocean is very sensitive to the irresponsible exploitation of natural resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to conserve, optimally exploit and safeguard these resources which we borrow from our children and their children\u2019s children,\u201d he stressed. In a statement, NovaNam said it has continuously invested capital on an annual basis to increase its value-adding capabilities and furthermore ensure sustainable employment for its 2 300 staff complement. \u201cThis investment is a further example of NovaNam\u2019s commitment to its people\u2019s development and their employment, and to improve livelihoods, food security and nutrition while at the same time supporting sound fisheries management practices and a healthy marine ecosystem,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

Parliamentarian and former L\u00fcderitz mayor Emilia Amupewa said the investments made by NovaNam thus far at the coastal town have led to socio-economic development. \u201cIt is important to mention that L\u00fcderitz was revived from its ghost town status by NovaNam just after independence, and we will always be grateful as citizens of this attractive and somewhat distant town,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

In her contribution, town mayor Anna\u02d7Marie Hartzenberg highlighted it as common knowledge that the socio-economic stability of the harbour town is firmly anchored on the fishing sector. \u201cThe addition of the two new vessels by NovaNam spells prosperity for L\u00fcderitz,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Hartzenberg also expressed her sincere hope that the vessels will be utilised for the benefit of the town in terms of job creation and economic development.<\/p>\n
