Why Africa Cabotage
Connectivity is about possibilities for people, companies and countries to connect with each other. In the trade sphere, physical connectivity enables the delivery of goods and services to local, regional and global markets. Maritime transport connectivity is an important determinant of trade costs as it determines the extent to which countries, markets, suppliers, buyers, importers, producers and consumers are serviced by numerous, various, regular, frequent and reliable maritime transport services.
