With less than four months remaining before the end-of-year deadline, Namibia and Botswana are under pressure to move the Trans-Kalahari Railway project from plans to action.

Namibia's current railway infrastructure is inadequate for its fuel demand supply chains. 

This has resulted in minimal volumes being transported by rail in the country.

Namibia's reliance on rail for fuel transportation has dramatically declined from 70% a decade ago to just 14% today.
