The Future of River and Lake Transport in Gabon
Water becomes highway, the river becomes the future
Modernizing Mobility Across Gabon’s Rivers and Lakes
Ogoowair is a national strategic initiative designed to transform Gabon’s inland waterways into a modern, high-performance transport network. Developed with the vision of a future public-private partnership with the Government of Gabon, the project aims to enhance national connectivity, accelerate fluvial logistics, and activate the full economic potential of the Ogooué River bassin— the country’s most valuable natural development corridor.
Early discussions with government authorities are underway to explore the framework for an official partnership, positioning Ogoowair as a catalyst for large-scale economic growth, regional integration, and new investment opportunities across Gabon.
A flagship national initiative led by Hadniki Group Inc., now engaged in early-stage discussions with the Gabonese government to structure a public–private partnership framework. The program will deploy sustainable hovercraft mobility across the Ogooué River system, unlocking new transport capacity, improving regional connectivity, and enabling scalable logistics across rivers, lakes, and lagoons.
