Africa rising has been a mantra in business cycles for a while now. How about Shipping that drives businesses. It is emerging that African is gradually moving from the periphery to the centre. How eminent is this? What is the evidence to show this mobility towards integrating into the global shipping network? Are there bottlenecks to this vision? Take a listen to the presentation and subsequent discussion I had with George vanDyck of Maritime Initiative Africa and Jeffrey Botchway of Masser Afrique.
