Strengthening West Africa’s Supply Chains with Maersk’s first integrated logistics hub in Senegal

The 10,000 square meter facility, strategically located between the Port of Dakar and Dakar's industrial area, represents Maersk's dedication to providing integrated supply chain solutions to match the customers’ needs

Dakar: Today, A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) inaugurated its new state-of-the-art warehouse facility in Senegal. This significant milestone highlights Maersk's commitment to developing and enhancing logistics infrastructure across West Africa. The facility's strategic location provides multiple benefits for customers, including proximity to end markets, manufacturing operations, and port facilities that are within a distance of 10 km. This positioning enables more efficient distribution within Senegal and facilitates cross-border transportation to neighbouring West African countries.

"West Africa represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving market with unique logistics challenges," continued Theeuwes. "Our customers deserve reliable, efficient warehouse solutions that connect seamlessly with transportation services. This facility directly addresses those needs and will contribute to the economic growth in the region."

The warehouse incorporates cutting-edge technology through its Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities, providing customers with real-time transaction visibility, enhanced traceability, and opportunities for technological integration with their existing systems.

Sustainability and safety are central to the facility's design and operations. The warehouse operates on 60% solar energy and utilises electric material handling equipment, reflecting Maersk's global commitment to decarbonising logistics. Comprehensive safety features include forklift safety systems with rear-view cameras and pedestrian sensors, extensive firefighting infrastructure, and 24/7 security with CCTV surveillance that complies with both local regulations and international standards.

The new integrated logistics hub in Dakar strengthens Maersk’s network of facilities in West Africa, which spans eight countries and covers over 100.000 sq. m., with a presence in key gateways such as Dakar, Abidjan, Tema, Douala, Lagos, Conakry, Lome, and Cotonou, all of which adhere to the same high HSSE standards as the recently launched warehouse.
