MARITIME: African ports outlook

Parallel Sessions Part I
Written By Arne Skeie

Thursday 8 November
13:00 - 14:00

More than 90% of Africa’s imports and exports are conducted by sea, and therefore, ports represent the getaways for these commodities. The immense need for African ports to further develop along with the population growth, creates great business opportunities for Nordic companies.

Our speakers will focus on the further development of smart ports, and the shipping industries’ opportunities and challenges on the African continent.

How can ports be an even greater impact on more trade in and out of the African continent?
