Walvis Bay Corridor Group calls for utilisation of a pre-clearance system

The Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG) implores operators to make use of the pre-clearance system to avoid congestion of trucks at borders.

This call was made during a stakeholders engagement WBCG had with the transport and logistics sectors as a result of the recent congestions arising from delays in truck crossings at the Katima Mulilo border post.

WBCG spokesperson Obrien Simasiku on Thursday said the meeting revealed that these congestion caused an increase in cargo transit times and demurrage charges, resulting in raising operational costs on our corridor.
