Frequently Asked Questions

What is project cargo?

Project cargo refers to oversized, heavy, or high-value loads that do not fit standard containers, such as industrial machinery, generators, transformers, or construction equipment. It requires specialised handling, route planning, and lifting equipment, which WTL coordinates through the Port of Dakar.

Can WTL handle heavy-lift and out-of-gauge cargo at Dakar?

Yes. WTL manages breakbulk and out-of-gauge shipments using flat-rack and open-top containers, RoRo, and specialised lifting and transport equipment, with route surveys and port coordination for safe discharge and inland movement.

What sectors use WTL's project cargo service?

Energy, mining, oil and gas, construction, and infrastructure clients use WTL to move plant and equipment into Senegal and the region, including the permits, escorts, and corridor planning that oversized loads require.

Do oversized loads need special permits in Senegal?

Yes. Out-of-gauge and heavy loads usually require transport permits and may need escorts and route surveys. WTL arranges the necessary authorisations and plans the corridor so project cargo moves safely from the Port of Dakar to site.
