Mais nous examinons d’ores et déjà les moyens qui nous assurerons une meilleure pénétration du marché, notamment en passant un contrat avec un opérateur feeder.” Poul Hestbaek, general manager commercial du QG hambourgeois du grand armement chilien CSAV, confirme la détermination du groupe de s’installer en Afrique de l’Ouest.
