Historically, West Africa has depended heavily on imports for key commodities, driving up costs for businesses and consumers alike. The region’s underdeveloped shipping industry means that it is largely reliant on foreign carriers, which increases both the cost and time of imports.

Benflip envisions a future where West Africa transforms from being import-dependent to becoming a leader in exports. By establishing a well-structured shipping industry, we can enable local manufacturers and producers to access international markets more easily, promoting exports of goods such as agricultural products, textiles, and minerals.

At the heart of this transformation is the creation of a shipping network that serves the region’s needs, both for imports and exports. Through strategic partnerships, training, and investment in modern fleets, Benflip is helping West Africa seize this opportunity for growth and development.
