Frequently Asked Questions

Can WTL transport cargo from Dakar to landlocked West Africa?

Yes. WTL moves cargo overland from the Port of Dakar to Mali (Bamako), Burkina Faso (Ouagadougou), and Niger (Niamey) along the established ECOWAS corridors, handling cross-border customs transit (TRIE) and the documentation required for goods in transit.

How long does road transport from Dakar to Bamako take?

The Dakar-Bamako corridor (about 1,200 km) typically takes 3-5 days by road, depending on border formalities and cargo type. WTL manages the TRIE transit declaration and border clearance to minimise delays at the Senegal-Mali frontier.

What is TRIE and why does it matter for regional transport?

TRIE (Transit Routier Inter-Etats) is the ECOWAS inter-state road-transit regime that lets cargo cross member borders under a single bonded declaration without paying duty in transit countries. WTL files the TRIE documentation so your goods clear borders smoothly to their inland destination.

What types of cargo can WTL move by road?

WTL handles containerised cargo, general and breakbulk freight, and project loads by road, using flatbeds, container trailers, and specialised equipment as needed. Cargo can be collected directly from the Port of Dakar and delivered across the WAEMU region.
