Demand for warehousing in Mozambique is growing quickly as the harbours become busier and focus more on their core business, pushing ancillary services such as warehousing out of the port, says Damco Mozambique managing director Agnaldo Laice. “For cargo owners and shippers, efficient warehousing can help reduce logistics costs and build up long-term competitiveness,” says Laice. “Damco has a sizeable network of its own and third party leased warehouses in most of the major African cargo gateways,” he says. “In Mozambique we are developing warehousing solutions across the main ports by investing in facilities, equipping them with relevant handling equipment, employing people with the specialised skills needed, and installing the IT platforms required to run them,” he says. “Among the facilities being developed is a flagship warehouse that will demonstrate the company’s capabilities, covering the full spectrum of warehousing and distribution services for all types of goods, including commodities. “Damco’s flexible warehousing solutions enable shippers to respond rapidly to changes in the market place,” he says.
