SADC REGIONAL PORTS CONFIRM PARTICIPATION IN LANDLINKED ZAMBIA 2026

By: Africast

As Land-Linked Zambia (LLZ) 2026 fast approaches, all six key SADC ports have confirmed participation, namely Beira, Dar es Salaam, Durban (Transnet), Lobito, Nacala, and Walvis Bay – highlighting the importance of strengthening multimodal corridors, improving efficiency, and enhancing connectivity between SADC and international markets.

The participation of these six strategic ports at Land-linked Zambia 2026 underscores the importance of coordinated regional infrastructure and corridor development. By strengthening partnerships between ports and inland logistics systems, Zambia is well-positioned to transition from a landlocked to a land-linked economy, leveraging connectivity to unlock trade, investment, and sustainable growth across the region.

Zambia’s transformation from landlocked to land-linked is already underway, driven by corridors, partnerships, and bold infrastructure investments.

At Land-linked Zambia 2026, these six strategic ports converge to shape the next chapter of regional trade.

Namibia Advances Green Transport with Hydrogen-Powered Locomotive Project

Namibia is taking a major step toward cleaner and more sustainable transport with the development of a green hydrogen-powered locomotive. The project, led by CMB.TECH Namibia demonstrates the country’s growing commitment to innovative technologies and low-carbon logistics. The locomotive is currently being assembled at the facilities of Traxtion, a South African rail engineering and refurbishment specialist. Once completed, it will mark an important milestone for Namibia’s rail sector as it introduces hydrogen technology into heavy-duty freight transport. The initiative also provides an opportunity to repower some of Namibia’s existing locomotives, many of which are currently idle, using a cost-effective and future-proof alternative energy system.

The project is the result of a strategic partnership between three companies with strong roots in Namibia: TransNamib Limited Holdings, Africa Global Logistics(AGL), and CMB.TECH Namibia.
