calls as part of an integrated berthing window system as per the CTOC agreements. A typical liner service is used as an example below
to illustrate multi-port calls.

THE RACE FOR NEW ROUTES FOR ECONOMIC ZONES, HUBS AND

LOOKING AHEAD
Economy
   The African continent looks set to suffer its largest ever recession in 2020 but like much of the world.
   The rebound will be modest across the world, and most countries will emerge from the crisis with heavy baggage in the form of large
    budget deficits, weak currencies and worryingly large stocks of debt.
   The recovery across Africa in 2021 will be tempered by the lingering effects of the still-subdued commodity prices and volatility in
    financial markets.
   UNCTAD expects the pandemic to reduce global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows by about 40% in 2020-21, a slightly deeper
    contraction than the 35% recorded during the global financial crisis in 2008-09.
   South Africa will be burdened by tight credit markets, low levels of private investment, high unemployment and growing levels of
    poverty - if we do nothing.
   The challenge for SA – how to change the risk/reward perception
Supply Chains
 As focus is shifted from short-term damage control to longer-term
   resilience, supply chains are likely to move in new and more
   geographically dispersed directions.
 The following trends are anticipated in response to the pandemic:
    o Homeward bound               – Some reshoring and stockpiling.
    o Regionalisation – Offering nearshoring opportunities.
    o Globalisation – A mixed approach by diversifying supply chains away
      from a single country to a region.
