A source of competitive advantage.
• Port of Walvis Bay and its corridor members are strategically located to
give Namibia a competitive position in providing the best transport to link
regional and international trades.
• The Walvis Bay Corridor refers to a network of roads and railways linking
different countries to the Port of Walvis Bay.
• It includes a stretch of the Trans-Kalahari road and Walvis Bay-Ndola-
Lubumbashi Development road ex. Trans-Caprivi Corridor, renamed after
the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia joined the group.
