Finding a lucrative niche in Angolan roadfreight

With Angola’s economy growing in leaps and bounds, exporters are moving in to take advantage of the significant opportunities. “The country however has a reputation for badly congested ports and severe berthing delays as a result,” says Globogistics and Services’ Deon Botha. “Many exporters have become frustrated with shipping delays on the route and as a result growing numbers are opting for roadfreight. “This translates into shorter transit times which is especially important for FMCG export orders.” Globogistics and Services currently offers an integrated service for exporters to Angola. “Each export order is carefully planned to ensure that all required documentation is correct and compliant,” says Botha. “Communication with both supplier and consignee is maintained throughout the process, with updates given on the status of the cargo as they move through various borders to Angola.” One of the challenges experienced for roadfreight orders is the preparation of in-transit bonds when cargo moves through Namibia, says Botha. “Globogistics has set processes in place to ensure that cargo does not suffer any delays on account of this.” The Angola roadfreight service is part of Globogistics’ comprehensive service portfolio.
