Walvis Bay port readiness links low-carbon logistics with skills development

A Namibia cooperation project connects preparations for future green-hydrogen logistics with technical support and training.

Preparing a port for a new industrial supply chain involves more than constructing facilities. Enabel’s Port and Youth Readiness for Green Hydrogen in Namibia project brings logistics, safety work and skills into the same transition.

The agency lists the project as ongoing, with a start in September 2026. Its published description includes assessing the readiness of Walvis Bay for possible future hydrogen and ammonia flows, alongside technical assistance, safety studies and market analysis.

These activities concern preparation for potential industrial development rather than proof that a new export chain is already operating. For Namibia, the spotlight is on the practical work needed to connect energy ambitions with safe port operations and relevant capabilities.
