Are you looking for new maritime business opportunities or would you like to learn more about expansion plans in the African ports and terminals market?


SANEC “Port & Corridor Cooperation” is inviting you to take part in the exclusive Holland Hospitality Lounge on behalf of the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Pretoria at the African Ports Evolution 2016. This Summit and Expo will take place on 18  – 19 October 2016 at Durban International Convention Center, South Africa.


This year African Ports Evolution 2016 will be focusing on major port development to accommodate Ultra Large Vessels (ULCV), the main reason for most of the port upgrades in Africa. There will also be a focus on container delivery and clearance time to make your port more efficient and to streamline your port through technology inputs. In response to global challenges, ports and terminals across Africa have embarked on the implementation of various projects including human resource development and infrastructural development projects. These projects are designed to create world class African ports that provide efficient and cost effective services. Given the fact that 90% of all trade in Africa is done via its ports, this has resulted in major developments and investments in ports cities. 


African Ports Evolution, now in its fifth year is Africa’s biggest maritime summit and expo. It has the unique ability to bring together industry expert from across the continent and the world, to present solutions to the African maritime sector. Here ports have a platform to showcase their unique competitiveness,  and for investors to identify business opportunities.
