Anchored in service. Driven by reliability.

Since 1999, Portuguese Market Garden / Portuguese Ship Chandlers has specialized in providing reliable and competent services to vessels, supplying everything from food provisions, cleaning materials, medical and technical supplies, to maintenance parts and other essential items.

Not only are we a trusted ship chandler, we also operate as an OK Foods Supermarket, trading since 1985. With our own bakery, butchery, and deli, we provide a wide range of high-quality products at competitive prices.

We are committed to fast, efficient delivery, available seven days a week, with a skilled team fluent in English, Afrikaans, Spanish, and Portuguese. Our warehouse features chilled and frozen storage facilities, and we operate light delivery vehicles, trucks, and forklifts for seamless service.

Located close to the Harbour of Walvis Bay, Namibia, we ensure timely and reliable delivery to all our clients. We also believe in giving back to the community, regularly supporting churches, children’s homes, feeding schemes, and offering educational bursaries for local school children.
