Breakbulk & Out-of-Gauge Cargo to Senegal

Not everything fits in a container. Mining equipment, transformers, construction machinery, and project shipments need a forwarder who knows the Port of Dakar's heavy-lift berths, crane capacities, and customs procedures first-hand.

WTL plans every breakbulk move end-to-end: vessel chartering and stowage, port handling, BESC/COSEC waivers, customs clearance, and onward inland transport across Senegal and ECOWAS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is breakbulk freight?

Breakbulk freight is cargo loaded individually rather than in containers, such as machinery, steel, vehicles, or oversized items handled piece by piece. WTL manages breakbulk shipments through the Port of Dakar, including specialised handling and stowage.

When should I choose air freight over ocean freight?

Choose air freight when speed matters; it moves cargo to or from Senegal in 2-5 days versus weeks by sea, and suits high-value, perishable, or urgent goods. Ocean freight is more economical for large or non-urgent volumes. WTL offers both and advises on the trade-off.

Does WTL handle air freight through Dakar?

Yes. WTL arranges air freight through Blaise Diagne International Airport (Dakar), including booking, export documentation, customs clearance, and onward delivery, suited to urgent, high-value, or time-sensitive consignments.

Can WTL combine air and ocean freight?

Yes. WTL offers sea-air and multimodal solutions that balance cost and speed, for example shipping by ocean to a hub and air-forwarding the final leg, tailored to your budget and deadline.
