In his remarks, Jo\u00e3o Filipe presented CABSHIP as an Angolan company headquartered in Cabinda, specializing in petroleum material management, and highlighted the company\u2019s 16 years of experience in the logistics sector.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe have been adding value to the logistics chain ecosystem. The inventory we manage on behalf of our clients amounts to nearly one billion dollars. There is, therefore, a strong Local Content DNA within the Oil & Gas ecosystem. We intend to continue engaging more and fostering greater collaboration with both Angolan and international companies. The Angolan business community is eager to seize the opportunities that this sector presents,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
The executive further stressed the importance of leveraging the platform offered by the sector to ensure that Local Content companies play a key role in the country\u2019s industrialization process, beginning with industries capable of supplying equipment to the oil and gas industry, and eventually extending to other areas of the national economy.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe want to see more Angolan companies entering this sector with professionalism, using resources aligned with international standards that will, over time, allow us to export services to other countries,\u201d added Jo\u00e3o Filipe.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
The panel concluded with a call to strengthen cooperation between Angolan and international companies, to consolidate the sector as a true driver of economic transformation in Angola\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
