Invest in Saldanha
Saldanha Bay has, for a long time, been acknowledged as an important resource for the sustainable growth and development of the West Coast region. The key focus of the Freeport Saldanha programme is to see the region and the Port of Saldanha Bay as a hive of industry and logistics, where the surrounding local communities and businesses benefit from a sustainable, inclusive and robust economy. In turn, these businesses and communities can offer quality, reliable and value-for-money services and goods to customers in the port and beyond.
