Breakbulk Africa Congress

South Africa, Cape Town - 7-8 August
Africa is a dynamic market and one in which the opportunity is surpassed only by the challenging logistics required. Due to the uncertainty in the Middle East , combined with the piracy threat in the Red Sea and Northwest Indian Ocean, the South Africa route for many trades has become increasingly important. Africa's importance in the market increases with the growing mining and construction projects based there.

The Breakbulk Africa Congress will bring together top cargo owners from around the world who have interests in Africa as well as the community that serves their logistics needs. In addition to two full days of educational programming, this event will include four sessions of SpeedMeetings that move participants quickly from introduction to identifying business opportunities.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
