AGP Executive Report

Last update: 18 minutes ago

Port Pressure: Liberia’s National Port Authority says the Freeport of Monrovia is struggling to handle larger ships and rising demand. Dredging is expected to begin under a contract due this week, while importers report shipping delays of up to seven months. Rail Reform: South Africa reached a milestone as Grindrod became the first private train operator to run a test train on Transnet’s network; it plans to begin coal haulage in 2027. Trade Links: Kenya is expanding port capacity as global shipping lines show growing interest, while DP World plans a weekly China–Africa service from late November. Vehicles and Aviation: BAIC FOTON announced new models and manufacturing partnerships in Africa, and Malawi launched an integrated electric-mobility ecosystem. African airlines’ international passenger demand rose 8% in September; Nigeria’s Senate is also seeking a review of the country’s aviation agreement with China.
