Collegare il Gambia al mondo

MSC Gambia aiuta i clienti a spedire i loro carichi in tutto il mondo dal 2010. Oggi, una delle principali compagnie di navigazione del Gambia, MSC Gambia può spedire più di 4.000 TEUS all'anno verso destinazioni in tutto il mondo.

Le arachidi, il sesamo, gli anacardi, i rottami metallici e i prodotti ittici sono i principali prodotti di esportazione del Gambia, la maggior parte dei quali sono destinati all'Estremo Oriente, all'India, all'UE e agli USA.

Le principali importazioni del paese sono soprattutto prodotti finiti e alimentari dall'Estremo Oriente, dall'UE, dagli Stati Uniti e da altre parti del mondo. Date le dimensioni del paese, il grosso di queste importazioni transita nei paesi vicini.
