United States (US) ambassador to Namibia John Giordano believes the Walvis Bay port could become a major gateway for energy trade in southern Africa.
Giordano and senior US department of energy officials toured the port of Walvis Bay recently to assess its strategic role in regional energy and trade infrastructure.
In a statement issued on the US embassy social media page on Friday, Giordano said: “Walvis Bay can become a major southern African energy and trade gateway connecting Atlantic markets across the continent. Infrastructure at this scale strengthens secure supply chains, supports industrial growth, and reduces dependence on fragile or adversarial routes.”
He said American companies lead the world in port safety, engineering, and operational standards, and they are ready to compete and deliver, adding that organisations like the American Bureau of Shipping are already on the ground bringing US expertise to the port’s expansion.
“Thanks to the Namibian Ports Authority chief executive Andrew Kanime for the operational briefing and forward development plan,” Giordano added.
