Local shipping lines currently account for only 5.4 percent of the shipment of goods into and out of the country. |
The lead story in the paper concerned a shipment of silver bullion, which had disappeared four months earlier. |
A similar direction was printed clearly on the waybills that accompanied the shipment. |
But several weeks later, after he sent out a large shipment of Ghanaian kente cloth, the recipient refused to pay. |
He swipes a bar-code wand across the waybill, a document that shows the contents and destination of the shipment. |
The unidentified Chinese company re-exported the shipment to a North Korean trading firm, the ministry said in a statement. |
