Brazilian shippers tune into WB benefits

Namibia’s decision to target
Brazilian exporters into
Africa is starting to pay off,
according to Agnetha Mouton
of the Walvis Bay Corridor
Group (WBCG).
The corridor group
opened a Sao Paolo office in
November 2012 in line with
the Namibian government’s
South American strategy.
According to Mouton,
Walvis Bay is becoming a
preferred African gateway
for Brazilian importers and
exporters because it can offer
a seven-days sailing from
Sao Paolo, if served with a
direct call, and the landward
links along the corridors offer
safe and cost-effective access
to the regional markets and
suppliers.
