TransNamib will soon start transporting fuel by rail from Walvis Bay to Gobabis for the Botswana border.This is part of a move away from road for carrying fuel.In September 2021 TransNamib signed an agreement with the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Namcor) to move more petroleum products by rail. The Rail Transport Agreement, will enable TransNamib to move in excess of 3 600 tons of petroleum products per month for NAMCOR for a period of five years. “The signing of the rail transport agreement between the two entities is a milestone for TransNamib – it is the first time for TransNamib to sign a rail transport agreement with a fuel company since the establishment of the company,” said TransNamib chief executive officer Johny Smith at the signing ceremony.
