…both expected to be operational in 2026
Yesterday marked the official groundbreaking of the Nambaza Logistics Park (NLP) and the Blue Institute of Technology (BIT) in Walvis Bay. This historic event represented a significant step forward in Namibia’s drive towards sustainable growth, industrialisation, and job creation.
The Nambaza Logistics Park, covering 150,000 square meters, is set to become a state-of-the-art logistics hub equipped with the first truck port, fuel station, 250 parking bays, accommodation facilities, healthcare services, and other essential amenities. This project is aligned with Namibia’s vision to strengthen its position as a logistics powerhouse within the Southern African Development Community (SADC), particularly as new sectors such as green hydrogen and oil and gas gain momentum in the region.
Alongside the logistics park, the Blue Institute of Technology (BIT) will play a critical role in advancing skills development, research, and creating opportunities for employment as the first energy training institute in Namibia. The establishment of BIT underscores the importance of education and training in equipping Namibia’s youth with the skills needed to thrive in emerging industries. Through this initiative, Namibia is investing in its human capital to ensure a future-ready workforce capable of contributing to the country’s evolving economic landscape.
Both the Nambaza Logistics Park and BIT are poised to create numerous opportunities for local and international businesses, strengthen Namibia’s competitiveness, and stimulate long-term economic growth. These projects are a testament to the power of collaboration between local entrepreneurs, regional, and international partners, who have demonstrated a shared commitment to the country’s future prosperity.
“As the groundbreaking ceremony marks the beginning of these transformative projects, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all those involved in making these initiatives a reality. Their vision, dedication, and continued partnership will drive Namibia forward on the path to success, job creation, and economic diversification.
“The Nambaza Logistics Park and the Blue Institute of Technology are not just infrastructure projects; they are key pillars in Namibia’s broader efforts to create a dynamic, resilient economy that benefits all Namibians and is expected to be operational by early 2026. We look forward to the positive impact these developments will have on the nation’s economic future and the lasting legacy they will create for generations to come,” the company said in a statement.
