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.
