The annual event addresses the industry's most pressing issues: the absence of deep water container transshipment terminals; inadequate berthing capacity; the lack of an integrated land distribution system - particularly for transit traffic; the lack of essential supporting infrastructure - such as rail systems; congested road networks, bureaucratic bottlenecks; as well as high maritime and freight charges.
The 2013 Summit will gather the region's experts and authorities to exchange and advance views and ideas in defining the future of African ports and terminals. An integral part of the two-day Conference is the Exhibition showcasing the latest technologies, services and best practices from international shipping lines, ports and container terminal equipment and technology & services suppliers.
