AGL won the contract through an international tender process initiated by Namibia’s port authority, Namport, in January 2023. This decision reflects confidence in AGL’s expertise and commitment to Africa’s economic development.
The Port of Walvis Bay, strategically located on Namibia’s southwest coast, serves as a vital trade gateway. Its geographical advantage simplifies connections between Southern Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Boosting the Namibian corridor: Utilizing advanced maritime, port, and logistics solutions, AGL will streamline access to SADC markets and invest in modern infrastructure to stimulate regional economic growth.
Empowering local businesses and communities: AGL’s projects and investments aim to create opportunities for local businesses and communities, fostering employment, innovation, and sustainable development.
Supporting key Namibian sectors: AGL will offer integrated services that meet the highest international standards to support Namibia’s energy, mining, and industrial sectors.
This collaboration strengthens Namibia’s position in global trade and benefits the regional economy as a whole.
“We are honored by the trust placed in us by Namibia,” said Olivier de Noray, Director of AGL Ports and Terminals. “Our vision is to transform the Port of Walvis Bay into a model of international connectivity, sustainable development, and economic growth. Together, we will build a strategic hub for global trade, driving prosperity for Namibia and Africa.”
AGL is excited to contribute to the success of the Port of Walvis Bay and be a part of Africa’s economic transformation.
