Shipping to remote areas in Africa is challenging due to many reasons. Uneven road networks, unpredictable weather, and lack of infrastructure all play a role. But shipping companies have devised smarter strategies to overcome these hurdles and ensure that goods reach their destinations, no matter how far-flung.
- Using local delivery networks in Africa
Many shipping companies partner with local delivery providers who know their roads. They would understand the best routes and the use of smaller, more agile vehicles by local partners who can access tricky roads. The collaboration between Shipping Companies in Africa and local partners makes them so reliable for remote locations.
- Alternative transport modes in Africa
However, when roads are not an option for shipping, shipping companies fall back on other forms of transport. Boats, motorcycles, and even bicycles easily move their goods around, especially to remote locations. In some areas, especially those where rivers are the only routes, boats are primarily used. FGi Solutions Africa collaborates with many transportation methods to deliver your cargo to remote locations.
- Building trust in local communities in Africa
Shipping companies often work directly with the community to smooth out deliveries. By hiring local staff and taking time to build relationships, they gain access to ‘difficult to reach’ places better. Modern shipping organizations rely on technology to optimize routes and track deliveries.
So, the next time your delivery arrives in a remote African village, think of the work and ingenuity delivered by the Shipping Agency Somalia that went into making it happen!
