"We take care of purchasing, the ship's operation, deliveries, and booking operations. Nile Dutch has about 4 or 5 boat shipments per month, and they go from Europe to Angola, and also to Pointe-Noire. As you said, they are among the 25 best companies in the world. It's the Dutch armament, headquartered in Rotterdam, very, very dynamic and, for them and for us, the partnership is really groundbreaking. It's groundbreaking for Côte d'Ivoire: to have a multinational company come and work with a local company like ours. It could bring knowledge of the markets, it could bring more. It's important to note that they used to be in Côte d'Ivoire a long time ago but with the crisis they had to leave in about 2005 and couldn't come back. So, for them, it's now a resumption. And for the past 2 years that we've been working with them there is good market penetration. Moreover, the quality of service is satisfactory for the clients", says Stéphane Eholie.
