​R&C Desk: A Year in Review

Dear R&C Desk Family and Clients,

As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on our journey and celebrate our achievements. Throughout the year, our articles have delved into a wide range of topics related to the maritime transport sector in Africa. Our editorial focus provided in-depth information on this vast and ever-evolving field. 

We have explored the role of new technologies in transforming maritime transport and logistics, closely examined emerging port and industrial projects, and tracked the latest trends and major events shaping the sector. This edition marks the conclusion of a year filled with significant change and, undoubtedly, a range of emotions. We’ve placed particular emphasis on developments across Africa, a continent where advancements in maritime transport and infrastructure have seen remarkable progress this year. 

Beyond our regular coverage, we have consistently highlighted key changes and decisions that could impact the export process and your work. We've focused on delivering the latest updates and regulatory changes to ensure compliance with local requirements, while also facilitating the timely acquisition of essential documents such as the BESC, BIETC, FERI and CTN or Waiver. Several procedures have been revised, and our technical and operational teams have continuously adapted our processes to make the R&C Desk platform even more efficient and user-friendly (for instance, enabling the acquisition of a CTN in less than 72 hours). 

Your positive feedback as users continues to inspire us, motivating us to keep improving the R&C DESK platform based on your needs, ultimately helping you to complete tasks more swiftly and easily. 

As we close the year, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all our partners, agents, clients, and loyal readers of our newsletter. May the end of the year be filled with peace and joy, and may the new year bring renewed opportunities and success. Here’s to continued growth and joyful moments ahead.
