The Walvis Bay Corridor Group this week
launched its first special publication, “A Guide to the Walvis Bay
Corridors”. The guide reflects and highlights the
advantages and facts of utilising the Walvis Bay Corridors via the
Port of Walvis Bay, as well as the achievements. It will be promoted
and presented by the Walvis Bay Corridor Group and transport
stakeholders at key national and international development events and
offices worldwide.
Furthermore, the distribution of the
publication is designed to reach decision-making stakeholders in the
local, national and international communities.
The Walvis Bay Corridor Group is a
public private partnership established to promote the utilisation of
the Walvis Bay Corridors, which is a network of transport corridors
principally comprising the Port of Walvis Bay, the Trans Kalahari
Corridor, the Trans Caprivi Corridor, the Trans Cunene Corridor and
the Trans Orange Corridor.
The Walvis Bay Corridor Group’s
public-private partnership set-up allows it to pool resources with
authorities of both transport regulators and transport operators,
thus effectively serving as a facilitation centre and one-stop shop
coordinating trade along the Walvis Bay Corridors and linking Namibia
and its ports to the rest of southern African region.
The ports and corridors in Namibia are
strategically positioned to give the country a competitive
positioning as a transport hub for all regional and international
trade between Southern African Development Community (SADC)
countries, Europe, the Americas, and the rest of the world.
