Accra, Oct 25, GNA \u2013 The McDan Group is working to deepen its footprint on the continent through strategic partnerships with organisations like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) secretariat.<\/p>\n
The Ghanaian conglomerate is currently working on a billion-dollar deal with Kenya that would allow the company to extend its logistics and operations to the East African country.<\/p>\n
Dr Daniel McKorley, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Group, stated the Company\u2019s vision at the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) Conference and Annual General Meeting.<\/p>\n
Delivering the keynote address, he drew attention to the growing influence of foreign investors in Ghana\u2019s logistics sector, particularly in air and sea transport.<\/p>\n
Drawing on his journey from a messenger to logistics leader, McKorley stressed the importance of local ownership, innovation, and partnerships in shaping the future of the continent\u2019s logistics landscape.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuccess is inevitable when opportunity meets preparedness,\u201d McKorley said, reflecting on his rise in the logistics industry, which he described as the \u201cengine of growth for every economy\u201d.<\/p>\n
He, therefore, called for local dominance in the sector and highlighted the critical role the sector played in national development, especially dealing with national emergencies.<\/p>\n
Dr Mckorley, for example, noted how his outfit helped save lives by effectively distributing essential medicines and food across Ghana during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
He announced that a new agreement had been reached with the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GHAPOHA) to build a privately owned port, the first of its kind in the country.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
The project aims to address Africa\u2019s logistical challenges and offer locally driven solutions for trade and transport.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn logistics, you need to be honest and have integrity. Without integrity, you crash,\u201d McKorley stated, reinforcing the principles guiding his leadership.<\/p>\n
He also celebrated the launch of his first ship to Vietnam, marking the revival of the historic Black Star Line.<\/p>\n
The Chairman said the goal was to operate over 100 vessels across Africa towards reshaping the continent\u2019s maritime logistics.<\/p>\n
The panel discussion, featured industry leaders like Professor Kofi Abochi, who reinforced the importance of African-led initiatives in logistics and transport.<\/p>\n
