註釋Founded in 1980 by two Netherland-based anti-apartheid groups, the principal purpose of the Shipping Research Bureau is to conduct in-depth research on the means whereby South Africa is circumventing the oil embargo. This seminar paper argues that oil keeps South Africa's illegal occupation of Namibia operative, and that without a constant flow of petroleum products and petrochemicals, the exploitation and export of Namibia's natural resources could soon come to a halt. It shows that about 9,000-12,500 barrels per day of petroleum are shipped to Walvis Bay by the major oil companies operating in South Africa (Shell & BP, Caltex, Mobil, Total and SASOL), in addition to petrochemicals and high value petroleum products shipped to Namibia almost exclusively from Europe (70 percent) and the Far East (20 percent). The study also lists the shipping and tanker companies responsible for the oil transport to South Africa and Namibia as well as the oil companies known to have sold most of the crude oil to South Africa for refining. The paper ends with a set of recommendations for actions to be taken by governments, trade unions, non-governmental organizations and the UN Council for Namibia to implement sanctions, to monitor Southern African ports and to publish lists of tankers and of companies involved in oil deliveries to South Africa and Namibia.
