Ports involved in the initiative include Cape Town, Ngqura (Coega), Durban and Saldanha Bay in South Africa, as well at the Namibian port Walvis Bay. Services include security, inspections and maintenance, husbandry and port agency.
“With the markets being in the state they are, an ever increasing amount of our customers are looking at affordable lay-up options,” said GAC South Africa md Eric Barnard says. “Though not good news for the market, it is an opportunity for GAC to offer a service where there previously was none.”
