WWL tests Maputo call for South Africa-made BMWs
Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics has made its maiden call to Maputo, Mozambique, on behalf of German carmaker BMW, loading 200 vehicles from the port there in early October, the company said Wednesday.
The Maputo port call was set up to provide alternative supply channel for BMW. Maputo is closer to the province of Gauteng, the most populous in South Africa, and where around half of all BMW sales are made, than other ports in Southern Africa.
WWL ships BMW's 3 Series, manufactured at BMW's Rosslyn plant outside Pretoria, for export to Australia and New Zealand.
