Botswana firms urged to utilise Walvis Bay Corridor

“We have quicker access routes to Europe and America,” Johny Smith, the chief executive officer of Walvis Bay Corridor Group, said. “Botswana firms should develop alternative routes and establish more trading partners. Nambia is available.”

Smith said at a Trans-Kalahari Information session that the Walvis Bay Corridor Group is a Namibian public private partnership established to promote the utilisation of the Walvis Bay corridors, which is a network of transport corridors made up of the Port of Walvis Bay, the Trans Kalahari Corridor, Trans Caprivi Corridor, the Trans-Cunene Corridor and the Trans-Oranje Corridor. The session was attended by stakeholders from Namibia and Botswana.
