Locating warehouses in the country may also reduce the risks of delay in delivery time.

There is also the threat of some bigger neighbouring port wanting to undermine and neutralise Banjul by imposing administrative restrictions instead of restrictions dealing with operation efficiency. The requirements to have customs escort for goods in transit is a popular weapon used against the re-export trade. The sea access in the distribution operation is the most feasible option as at now. The hindrance of poor, inaccessible roads networks in the region is a major problem.

Readily constructed warehouses like the newly constructed one at the shipyard in Banjul should be leased or rented out. There should also be the choice of users building storage facilities if they want to. But whatever the case is, the structures should be of acceptable standards. Normal Operations at the port and at the distribution centre need cargo handling gears capable of handling the expected traffic.
Some specialised equipment such as bagging machines or unloading installations to cope with high volume imports.
The possibility of building specialised storage facilities known as silos should be considered carefully by the authority. This will alleviate the problem of congestion. For instance GPA lacks storage facilities for the cargo of a local company involved in

Though for PVMS this type of method is expensive, but will significantly benefit from this change.
