A global logistics network rooted in West Africa, reaching every corner of the world.
World Trans & Logistics has built one of the most extensive logistics networks in West Africa, spanning over 50 countries across four continents. Our network is the result of years of strategic partnership development, careful agent selection, and continuous investment in trade lane capabilities that connect businesses in Senegal and across the region to global markets.
From our headquarters in Dakar, we coordinate a seamless web of ocean freight, air cargo, road transport, and rail connections that ensure your goods move efficiently regardless of origin or destination. Our network is designed for flexibility and resilience, with multiple routing options and contingency plans to handle disruptions and keep your supply chain flowing.
Whether you are importing raw materials from Asia, exporting finished goods to Europe, or managing intra-African trade, WTL's network provides the reach, reliability, and local expertise to make it happen.
Strategically positioned on the Atlantic coast, Dakar serves as the primary hub for WTL's global operations.
Our headquarters is located at RUE Du Liban X Brazza, Dakar, Senegal -- in the heart of the city's commercial district. This central location provides excellent access to the Port of Dakar, Blaise Diagne International Airport, and the major overland corridors that connect Senegal to its neighbouring countries. Our modern office facility houses our executive team, operations centre, customer support hub, and administrative departments.
The Port of Dakar is one of the most important deep-water ports in West Africa, handling millions of tonnes of cargo annually. WTL maintains close working relationships with the port authority, terminal operators, and shipping lines operating out of Dakar, giving our clients priority access, faster clearance times, and competitive rates. Our proximity to the port enables us to manage ocean freight operations with exceptional efficiency and responsiveness.
Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) is a major air cargo gateway for the West African region. WTL leverages this hub to provide fast, reliable air freight services for time-sensitive shipments. Our team at the airport handles cargo acceptance, security screening, documentation, and customs clearance, ensuring that your air shipments are processed swiftly and in full compliance with IATA regulations.
WTL operates modern warehousing facilities in the Dakar metropolitan area, providing secure storage, inventory management, and distribution services. Our warehouses are equipped with advanced handling equipment, security systems, and climate-controlled areas for sensitive cargo. Located near the port and major transport routes, our facilities are optimized for efficient cargo flow and rapid dispatch.
WTL's network connects four major regions, each served by a combination of our own offices, exclusive agents, and strategic partnerships with leading local logistics providers.
West Africa is our home, and we know it better than anyone. Our network covers every ECOWAS member state, including Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, and beyond. We operate direct road and rail corridors connecting landlocked countries to the coast, manage cross-border customs clearance, and maintain strong relationships with local authorities and transport operators across the region. Our West African coverage is the strongest in the industry.
Europe is one of West Africa's most important trading partners, and WTL maintains robust connections with major European ports and logistics hubs. Our network includes agents and partners in France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Turkey. We offer regular ocean freight services between Dakar and key European ports including Le Havre, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, and Barcelona, as well as competitive air freight options through major European airports.
With the rapid growth of trade between Africa and Asia, WTL has invested heavily in building strong connections to major Asian markets. Our network reaches China, India, the UAE, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and other key economies. We facilitate both import and export flows, handling everything from containerized cargo and bulk commodities to project freight and specialized equipment. Our Asian network is supported by partnerships with leading carriers and freight forwarders in the region.
WTL connects West African businesses to markets across North and South America through our network of agents and carrier partnerships. We service trade lanes to the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and other key destinations. Whether you are exporting agricultural products to North America or importing machinery from Brazil, our Americas network ensures smooth, compliant, and cost-effective logistics across the Atlantic.
Our logistics capabilities are amplified by strategic relationships with major ports and a carefully curated network of agents worldwide.
WTL maintains strong operational relationships with some of the world's busiest and most strategic ports. In West Africa, we are connected to the ports of Dakar, Abidjan, Tema, Lagos (Apapa and Tin Can Island), Conakry, and Lome. Internationally, our network includes direct access to the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Le Havre, Shanghai, Singapore, Jebel Ali, and several key ports in the Americas.
These port connections are supported by contracts with major shipping lines including MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, and others, ensuring competitive rates, reliable schedules, and priority cargo handling for our clients.
At the heart of WTL's global reach is our network of trusted agents -- local logistics professionals who represent our interests and serve our clients in markets around the world. Every agent in our network is carefully vetted for reliability, expertise, financial stability, and alignment with our values and service standards.
Our agents provide on-the-ground support including cargo handling, customs clearance, warehousing, local transportation, and real-time communication with our Dakar operations centre. This agent model allows us to offer truly local service in global markets, combining the reach of an international network with the knowledge and responsiveness of a local partner.
