Transporting heavy and valuable goods from Italy to Senegal by sea
International trade between Italy and Sub-Saharan Africa continues to grow, with Senegal representing one of the strategic markets for Italian exports.
Among the different sectors involved, construction and infrastructure projects often require the shipment of heavy and high-value materials. Managing these shipments requires experience in international sea freight, container transport and customs procedures.
Our recent project involving the shipment of Italian porphyry to Senegal is a concrete example of how specialized logistics solutions can support international construction projects.
Customer requirement: shipping Italian porphyry to Senegal
An Italian construction company operating in Senegal contacted us to organize the transport of Italian porphyry, a volcanic stone widely used for outdoor flooring and architectural projects.
The material was destined for the construction of a luxury residence in Dakar.
Due to the high specific weight of porphyry, the shipment required careful planning to optimize container loading, transport safety and international logistics operations.
Sea freight solution: four containers from Genoa to Dakar
To manage this shipment, we organized the transport of:
- 4 x 20′ DV containers
- Departure port: Genoa, Italy
- Destination port: Dakar, Senegal
- Transport mode: direct sea freight service
- Transit time: 11 days
Thanks to the correct planning of the shipment and the coordination of all logistics operations, the goods arrived safely at their destination.
