Car imports
Fascinating fact: 30,000 cars a MONTH are imported into Benin from Europe & the USA; most are second-hand. 80% find their way into Nigeria, and the remainder are spread amongst Benin, Niger, Togo and other surrounding countries. The cars are carried in massive car-carrier ships, that look like floating apartment blocks, like the one below.

We just bought a Mitsubishi Pajero which we'll ship to Senegal ready for Mali! Reluctantly decided to go Japanese as parts are more easily available there.
