Namibia is positioning itself as a major logistics hub with a new container terminal and a state-controlled oil storage facility being built at Walvis Bay by China Harbor Engineering Company. The momentum is palpable at the port's construction site. The port will be able to handle up to 10 million tons of cargo per year, according to the company. The ambitious project includes reclaiming 40 hectares of land from the sea, will feature four 79 m-high container cranes and will likely herald upgrades to feeder roads and rail networks.
