OCEAN TRANSPORTATION......BRINGING THE GLOBAL BUSINESS TOGETHER. ANOTHER BIG AND EXCITING GAME..........MAERSK LINES SUPER CONTAINER SHIPS. I OPERATED TWO CARGO COASTER SHIPS ALONG THE WEST AFRICAN COAST. "M/V SEA CARRIER 1" (2000 TONS) AND "M/V SEA BIANCA" (1500 TONS) IN A JOINT VENTURE OPERATION WITH SCANDINAVIAN TRADE EXCHANGE (SWEDEN). THEY BROUGHT THE SHIPS TO WEST AFRICA, I SECURED CARGO FOR THE VESSELS AND OPERATED THEM FROM OUR BASE IN THE GAMBIA.....WEST AFRICAN SHIPPING SERVICE LTD. THERE ARE HUGE VOLUMES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARGO THAT NEED TRANSPORTATION WITHIN THE WEST AFRICAN SUB-REGION (NORTH AND SOUTH BOUND) BUT NO VESSELS. CARGOES INCLUDE TRANS SHIPMENT OF CONTAINERS FROM DAKAR DOWN SOUTH, FROZEN AND DRIED SALTED FISH (KAKO) FROM MAURITANIA, SENEGAL, GAMBIA, AND GUINEA CONAKRY TO IVORY COAST, GHANA AND NIGERIA. SALT FROM KAOLACK (SOUTHERN SENEGAL) TO FREETOWN AND NIGERIA, CRUDE PALM OIL FROM ABIDJAN TO SOAP FACTORIES IN WEST AFRICA. WOOD FROM SAN PEDRO (IVORY COAST) AND MONROVIA TO GAMBIA, SENEGAL AND MAURITANIA. OTHERS ARE PLASTIC AND ALUMINIUM WEAR AND NUMEROUS OTHER INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS. DAKAR IS AN ENTRY POINT INTO MAURITANIA, MALI, GUINEA BISSAU, AND GUINEA CONAKRY. TOO MUCH TO OPPORTUNITY IN THE SUB-REGION. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SWEDISH OWNERS OF THE VESSELS I WAS OPERATING SECURED A VERY MAJOR CONTRACT IN SOUTH AMERICA SO THE VESSELS WERE SENT AWAY.
