Namport signs MoU with Suez Canal Authority

Namport signed an MoU with the Suez Canal Authority last week to strengthen Namibia’s position within the global maritime and logistics network. The agreement focuses on cooperation in key strategic areas, including capacity building, port infrastructure development, marine asset management, dredging expertise and the exchange of technical and operational information.

Namport said the partnership supports its broader ambition to position Namibia as a leading regional logistics hub and transhipment centre on Africa’s western seaboard, leveraging the country’s ports to improve connectivity between southern Africa and international shipping routes.



The collaboration also builds on the longstanding bilateral relationship between Namibia and Egypt. Namport noted that cooperation with the Suez Canal Authority, one of the world’s most strategically important maritime institutions, is expected to contribute to improved port operations, skills development and long-term infrastructure planning in Namibia.
