The 2013 Summit will gather the region's experts and authorities to exchange and advance views and ideas in defining the future of African ports and terminals. An integral part of the two-day Conference is the Exhibition showcasing the latest technologies, services and best practices from international shipping lines, ports and container terminal equipment and technology & services suppliers.
