The Walvis Bay Municipality said the Road Fund Administration has increased the budget for the road rehabilitation project to N$400 million.

Currently, the rehabilitation of two streets in the heavy industrial area is ongoing under the project.

President Nangolo Mbumba highlighted the crucial role of Namibia's road network in boosting regional trade and economic development during the official opening of the Dr. Hifikepunye Pohamba Freeway.

A local company, Do Mar Fishing, is expected to construct a logistics hub at Walvis Bay at a cost of N$25 million.

Established in 2017 by Tsumeb resident Antonio Rodriques, Dor Mar Fishing held a ground-breaking ceremony to announce plans for the construction.
