AGL to manage Walvis Bay multipurpose bulk terminal

Africa Global Logistics (AGL) has been awarded a contract to manage the Walvis Bay multipurpose bulk terminal in Namibia. This appointment follows an international call for tenders launched by the Namibian Ports Authority (Namport) in January 2023.

As part of the contract, AGL will facilitate access to Southern African Development Community (SADC) markets and invest in modern infrastructure to drive economic growth in the region. Through its projects and investments, the company also aims to create opportunities for local businesses and communities, promoting employment, innovation and sustainable development.

AGL's objective is to support Namibia's energy, mining and industrial projects by offering integrated services that meet the highest international standards. This collaboration will not only strengthen Namibia's position on the global trading scene, but will also help boost the regional economy, it said.

"We are honoured by the trust that the Namibian authorities have placed in us. Our vision is to make the Port of Walvis Bay a model of international connectivity, sustainable development and economic growth. Together, we will build a strategic hub for global trade, which will serve the prosperity of Namibia and Africa as a whole," Olivier de Noray, director of ports and terminals at AGL, said.
