Norden, Danish shipping company, is expanding operations to Africa where it plans to open an office by the end of the year. The new location in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, will be the company’s eleventh office, joining those already established in the US, Brazil, Australia, China, Singapore and India.
Mainly, the company believes that Africa is a promising region, with numerous developing opportunities within dry cargo, adding that it would seek to develop industrial bulk port logistics projects in the region.
As Jan Rindbo, Norden CEO, reported, the company seeks to be closer with its partners and increase its presence in the business industry.
In the meantime, Norden will help the region grow, by investing manpower, know-how, money and time in the maritime sector in Ivory Coast and West Africa.
Norden plans its office to be operational during the second quarter of 2019.
Concluding, the shipping company operates a mixed fleet of 249 owned and chartered dry cargo vessels and 60 tanker vessels.
