Long-distance road freight in Sub-Saharan African SSA is notoriously caught up in congestion and cross-border snags, especially on the North-South Corridor NSC linking the Port of Durban with the Copperbelt.
But a new platform, the Trans Africa Border Hub TABH, endorsed by one-stop border post OSBP consultant Mike Fitzmaurice, hopes to address waiting time and transport costs.
Launched by border consultant Kage Barnett, a regular adviser to the Southern African Association of Freight Forwarders on various cargo corridors, TABH is a handy tool for daily-updated data on routes and related incidents, cross-border charges, tolls, traffic, GPS locations and bottlenecking.
