Raw materials and construction equipment top the bill

CLIV E EMDON CROSS-BORDER exports of raw materials and construction equipment are top performers, says Alwyn Nel, managing partner of Kingfisher Freight Services. Zambia, Angola and Nigeria are economies that are particularly buoyant and freight-busy, he told FTW. The company started 15 years ago as a crossborder road cargo consolidator and forwarder. Today it has fully-fledged air, road and sea services with a focus on Africa. It provides full loads as well as consolidated cargo by road to Southern African countries as far north as Kenya. I t also provides an express operation with dedicated vehicles and drivers on 24-hour call. Representatives in customs offices at all borders provide clearance, supervision and acquittals for road cargo loads. Kingfisher also provides insurance facilities and road bonds.
