As the second-largest city in Namibia and the largest coastal city in the country, Walvis Bay played a role similar to Shangdu's role in the Mainland.
Walvis Bay was also the only deep-water port in a 3,000 kilometers span of coastline between Lobito, Angola, and Cape Town, Rainbow Country.
In 2014, the Mainland contracted an $800 million U.S. dollar land reclamation project in Namibia around the region of Walvis Bay and built a modern deepwater port.
This project was not officially completed until October of 2019.
The new port included a container port of 800 TEU per hectare that was capable of handling loads up to 100,000 tons. Its specification also included a 372-meter-long cruise terminal and a 410,000-square-meter land storage yard. Corresponding supporting facilities such as railways, highways, water, electricity, and communications facilities, along with housing construction were established as well.
