Discover who we are and what drives us to deliver world-class logistics solutions from the heart of West Africa.
World Trans & Logistics (WTL) was founded with a clear purpose: to serve as the vital bridge connecting West African businesses to the global marketplace. Headquartered in Dakar, Senegal, WTL has grown from a regional freight forwarding company into a comprehensive logistics provider with a footprint that spans over 50 countries across six continents.
Our journey began with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by businesses operating in and out of West Africa. From navigating complex customs regulations to managing multi-modal supply chains across diverse terrains, WTL was built to solve the logistics puzzles that others overlook. Over the past 25 years, we have earned the trust of multinational corporations, small and medium enterprises, and government agencies alike.
Today, WTL stands as a testament to what is possible when local expertise meets global ambition. Our team of seasoned logistics professionals combines on-the-ground knowledge of West African trade corridors with a world-class approach to supply chain management, ensuring every shipment arrives safely, on time, and within budget.
Our mission is to provide seamless, efficient, and cost-effective logistics services that empower businesses to thrive in the global marketplace. We are committed to bridging the gap between West Africa and international markets through innovation, reliability, and a relentless focus on customer satisfaction.
Numbers that reflect our commitment to excellence and our growing impact on global trade.
For over twenty-five years, WTL has been a trusted logistics partner for businesses across West Africa and beyond. Our experience spans every mode of transport, every type of cargo, and every regulatory environment in the region.
Our extensive network of agents, partners, and offices reaches more than 50 countries worldwide. Whether your cargo is destined for Europe, Asia, the Americas, or anywhere in Africa, WTL has the connections to make it happen.
Strategically located at the westernmost point of Africa, our Dakar headquarters gives us unparalleled access to major Atlantic shipping lanes, international airports, and overland routes connecting the entire West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) zone.
Every year, we handle thousands of shipments ranging from small parcels to oversized project cargo. Each shipment receives the same meticulous attention to detail, ensuring safe and timely delivery regardless of size or complexity.
At WTL, we combine the reach of a global logistics network with the deep, hands-on expertise that only comes from years of operating in West Africa.
Operating in West Africa requires more than logistics know-how -- it demands an intimate understanding of local markets, regulatory frameworks, infrastructure realities, and cultural nuances. Our team possesses this knowledge because we live and work in the region every day. We know the fastest routes, the most reliable carriers, and the customs procedures that can make or break a shipment timeline.
From the moment your cargo is picked up at its origin to the final delivery at its destination, WTL manages every step of the journey. Our integrated approach covers freight forwarding, customs brokerage, warehousing, distribution, and last-mile delivery. This means you deal with a single, accountable partner rather than juggling multiple service providers.
We invest in cutting-edge logistics technology to provide our clients with real-time visibility into their supply chains. Our digital platforms enable shipment tracking, automated documentation, performance analytics, and seamless communication between all stakeholders in the logistics chain.
As a company rooted in Africa, we are deeply committed to sustainable practices. WTL actively works to minimize the environmental impact of our operations through route optimization, fuel-efficient transport modes, and partnerships with carriers who share our commitment to a greener future. We believe that responsible logistics is not just good ethics -- it is good business.
