The corridor, established following Logidoo's participation in the prestigious C-START program, represents a culmination of intensive collaboration with Chinese companies. The partnerships, formalised in August 2024, lay the groundwork for this game-changing logistics solution.
"Our China-West Africa corridor is set to redefine how businesses operate across these regions," said Tamsir Traore Ousmane, CEO of Logidoo. "By significantly reducing shipping times and simplifying logistics processes, we're opening new doors for economic growth and international trade."
The new trade corridor promises to cut shipping times compared to traditional sea routes, addressing one of the most pressing challenges businesses operating between China and West Africa face.
Logidoo's service offers end-to-end freight management for a wide range of shipments, from small parcels to large containers. A key feature of the corridor is its streamlined customs handling and simplified logistics processes, which will remove the difficulties often associated with international trade.
The corridor will initially centre operations in Senegal, leveraging Logidoo's strong presence in the country. Plans are underway to expand services to other West African nations, such as Mauritania, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Guinea - regions where Logidoo’s network is well established.
This initiative aligns perfectly with Logidoo's mission to facilitate intra-African and international trade, supporting the company’s broader vision of becoming Africa’s logistics leader. By integrating advanced logistics technology, including Afridoo's Transport Management System (TMS) and Warehouse Management System (WMS), Logidoo is poised to offer logistics service of unparalleled quality.
"The China-West Africa corridor is more than just a trade route; it's a bridge connecting continents and cultures," Traore added. "We're excited about the possibilities this opens up for businesses in both regions and look forward to seeing the positive impact on economic development."
