PAIN

Destruction of Urban Infrastructure

Heavy trucks have a destructive impact on road surfaces, accelerating their wear and tear

Inconvenience for Residents

Engine noise, air pollution, limited access to adjacent areas, and dense traffic of large vehicles create discomfort for local residents;

Inconvenience for Drivers

The lack of specialized services leads to a decline in the quality of life and additional expenses for drivers

Negative Impact on the City's Tourist Image

Chaotic parking arrangements cause confusion among tourists and tarnish the image of the city, which is one of Namibia's key tourist destinations

Economic Costs

The government has already begun implementing an emergency road reconstruction plan, but these measures are temporary and do not address the root of the problem

Lack of Logistic Coordination Between Drivers and Port Services

The process of loading and unloading trucks is carried out using outdated methods, often slowing down these operations

problem

Together with the Baobab Mercy Fund, we took a close look at the city's road situation and were horrified by the results.

In these videos, made by local media, you can see and be convinced of the level of problems we have exposed:

SOLUTION - WBTP

WALVIS BAY TRUCK PORT

First, there was the obvious nightmare of the situation, then there were requests from people and officials, and then there came an understanding of the project's scale and profitability

Project of a parking complex for trucks

Walvis Bay Truck Port is a modern complex for parking and servicing freight vehicles, located outside the city limits, in close proximity to Namibia's main port.

The project aims to address the issue of the lack of equipped parking spaces for trucks and to create conditions for the efficient operation of logistics companies, as well as to improve the comfort and safety of drivers.

The complex offers all the necessary infrastructure for long-haul drivers, including:

Spacious, guarded parking areas with video surveillance and 24/7 security services;
Service stations for the maintenance and repair of trucks;
Comfortable rest areas: cafes, showers, sleeping quarters, laundry facilities, and cooking zones;
A fuel station and temporary storage facilities;
Digital logistics services;
First aid station.

Advantages

The Walvis Bay Truck Port project is a long-awaited and the only feasible step in addressing the existing issues:

Improvement of Urban Infrastructure

Relocating freight vehicles outside the city will reduce the strain on roads, extending their lifespan, and will significantly reduce the city's road repair costs and allow the local police to finally breathe a sigh of relief

Comfort for Drivers

Providing all necessary amenities will make stops more pleasant and productive, positively impacting drivers' work

BRANDING

Under the Baobab brand, the Baobab Mercy Fund is airing a series of socially oriented cartoons on national television. Additionally, a company affiliated with us is launching a goods and services aggregator project under the same brand. We are confident that this brand will be associated by the public with the positive image of its hero

Digitalization

The implementation of the project involves the introduction of a fundamentally new system for tracking and controlling truck access to the port, based on QR codes. This will provide a significant boost to the development of the logistics complex as a whole. The software development will also be handled by a company affiliated with us

Market size

Walvis Bay, being a strategically important logistics hub between South Africa, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and southeastern part of the DRC, handles a significant volume of freight traffic daily. According to estimates and personal observations, up to 1,000 trucks pass through the port each day, most of which are forced to stop within the city.

In addition to standard parking complex services, the project has extensive opportunities for horizontal and vertical diversification, allowing it to gradually evolve into a significant regional transport hub and a major player in the logistics market

increase income WITH

diversification

Market research-recommended and confirmed diversification strategies, which are guaranteed to succeed, partly due to the marketing resources of our affiliated company, include:

Intermediate Storage

Construction of an Intermediate Storage Terminal/Warehouse: This will alleviate pressure on port infrastructure and facilitate access to customs and brokerage services for SMEs (small and medium-sized entrepreneurs)

Freezer Facility

Construction of a Refrigerated/Freezer Facility: This will make it easier for mid - and small-scale wholesalers from Namibian cities to access local fish products and for local merchants to access meat products from the central and northern regions of the country

hotel

Construction of a Hotel: This makes it easier for logistics company managers to monitor the work of drivers on site

GOODWILL

Over the past three months, our team has conducted an in-depth analysis of the situation by engaging directly with all stakeholders on the ground. As a result, significant progress has been made for the development of the project:

Needs and Services

Thanks to feedback from drivers and multiple visits to informal parking areas, we have precisely identified the range of services that are in highest demand

Contacts

Connections have been established with key market players, including logistics companies and port administration

Construction Site

A preliminary agreement has been reached to allocate a site for the creation of a 500-space parking complex on favorable terms

Administrative Support

Local authorities are actively supporting the project, viewing it as a priority initiative to address the issue of informal parking

PROJECT MANAGER

There is only one good - knowledge, and only one evil - ignorance

Walvis Bay Truck Port — is not just a business project, but a comprehensive solution that unites the interests of local authorities, logistics companies and truckers.
