Angola and Namibia are moving forward with their plans to develop a logistics operations center in Namibia, similar to the Sonangol Integrated Services Logistics Center (SONILS) in Angola.
The project is based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the National Fuel Society of Angola (SONANGOL) and the National Petroleum and Ports Company of Namibia over a year ago.
Recently, Angolan Secretary of State for Oil and Gas, José Barroso, and Namibian Minister of Mines and Energy, Tom Alweendo, met in Luanda to analyze the MoU’s content.
The meeting was followed by a guided visit to the SONILS facilities, attended by the Namibian ambassador to Angola, Patrick Nandago.
According to Barroso, the visit aimed to evaluate the agreement and identify the benefits that the Angolan logistics center can offer Namibia.
He emphasized that the two ministries will increase their collaboration to make the project a reality.
Minister Alweendo highlighted the recent discovery of oil off Namibia’s coast as a key factor in the agreement.
He noted that the partnership with SONILS will enable the construction of an oil base in Namibia, driving growth and development in the region.
This partnership is part of a broader effort to enhance bilateral cooperation in the petroleum and natural gas sector between Angola and Namibia.
