Sea freight to Senegal plays a vital role in both regional and global trade thanks to the country’s strategic location on the West African coast and its growing port infrastructure. With direct access to the Atlantic Ocean, Senegal serves not only its domestic market but also acts as a key logistics hub for surrounding African countries.
Located in the capital city, Port of Dakar is one of the busiest and most modern ports in West Africa. With infrastructure capable of handling deep-sea vessels, streamlined customs operations, and increasing cargo volume, Senegal offers an ideal gateway for exporters looking to enter African markets.
