“We are adopting [a lot of software] enhanced by AI,” Da Silva stated. “We are using tools that provide much clearer visibility into our operations through interactive dashboards, giving us live data that improves and speeds up decision-making.”

Cabship’s AI integration aims to move beyond traditional logistics methods, incorporating real-time data analytics and user-friendly interfaces to improve operational efficiency. This approach allows the company to transition from intuition-based decisions to data-driven strategies, enhancing service quality and responsiveness.

Da Silva emphasized the importance of local expertise in Cabship’s operations, “At Cabship, we are open to partnering with companies that have the necessary know-how that we need, but we are a company that is close to 100% Angolan. It’s an Angolan company and it’s managed by Angolans.”

The company’s commitment to local content is evident in its workforce and training programs. “We are constantly investing in training so that our people are kept up-to-date with the latest technologies, the know-how that’s available,” Da Silva added. “We are sending some of our people outside of the country to get exposed and learn from others as well, and bringing that know-how into our culture.”
