AFRICA’S MARITIME SECTOR AS A DRIVER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

 

Maritime in Africa

 

Africa’s share in world trade is around 3%. The continent’s prospects for economic growth and development are inextricably linked with the ability to increase its participation in global trade through enhancing its competitiveness and transporting African goods to the market. Ships are the main conveyor of Africa’s traded goods, with over 90% of Africa’s imports and exports conducted by sea. The maritime industry therefore represents the key strategic apparatus to increase Africa’s trade, as well as to drive economic development both directly and indirectly.

 

Maritime Indaba 2013 is the first of its kind on African soil. The conference will feature debates and thought-leadership sessions which will address vital issues currently influencing the maritime markets. Influential and highly respected leaders in the industry will be gathered at this occasion to share knowledge and insights pertaining to this industry. The topics will include trade and ship ownership, best practices and innovation, ports reformation, African women in shipping and logistics, maritime infrastructure etc.
