Durban-based line rep strengthens CMA CGM presence

ALAN PEAT THE SHIPPING line CMA CGM has been busy strengthening its presence in Durban, the country’s main port centre. “We have been continuing to reinforce our investment in SA," said Pam Yerushalmy, GM of CMA CGM Shipping Agencies. The line’s latest move has been to appoint a Durban-based line representative. Corsica-born Philippe Fozzani has extensive experience in the shipping industry in Africa. He started his career 10 years ago, arriving to take up a shipping post in Lagos, Nigeria with Delmas – at that stage owned by the French Bollore Group before its recent takeover by CMA CGM. His five-and-a-half year stint there included a year in Port Harcourt in projects for the line. The immediately past four-anda- half years has seen Fozzani based in East Africa – as agency GM for Delmas in Ghana and Kenya.
