Trafic dublu, câștig zero. Cum ratează Africa de Sud miliardele care îi trec pe lângă coastă

South Africa is missing out on maritime trade opportunities despite increased traffic due to geopolitical tensions. Inefficient ports and logistical challenges prevent ships from stopping for services. The longer route around the Cape of Good Hope adds significant costs, discouraging shipping companies. Port inefficiencies, outdated infrastructure, and operational issues lead to delays and congestion. As a result, South Africa receives traffic but little economic benefit, facing increased security risks and higher fuel costs. Meanwhile, regional energy projects are underway, but the country struggles with rising import prices and competition.
