Given the growth of activities in the mining, energy, infrastructure, oil and gas, and renewable energy sectors in Mauritania, OBT has decided to establish a local presence in this country. This new operation will connect to OBT's extensive network in Africa.
OBT's Next Step in Mauritania
Youssef Bouricha, OBT's manager in Mauritania, stated: "Mauritania is the natural next step for OBT. Customers are increasingly demanding transparent responses during project execution. This allows us to plan earlier, make quicker decisions, and adapt to changing conditions."
OBT Services in Mauritania
OBT's expansion responds to customer needs, market opportunities, and the strategic position of Mauritania on the northwest coast of Africa. International companies entering this country require precise knowledge of ports, customs environment, transportation market, and operational realities.
OBT Mauritania will offer services including transportation representation, freight forwarding, customs clearance, project logistics, heavy lift operations, warehousing, domestic transportation, and last-mile delivery. These services will be supported from the port of Nouakchott, which is a gateway to the capital and southern and central regions of Mauritania, and the port of Nouadhibou, which is important for mining and industrial activities.
The company has already carried out a wide range of work in Mauritania. One of the recent logistics operations involved 33 containers, which included unloading, temporary storage, and distribution to over 20 destinations.
In addition, OBT has successfully completed several heavy lift and project operations in this country, including large and heavy equipment that required specialized lifting, port coordination, and domestic transportation. The OBT team has also supported several port calls and provided representation and support services. These projects have given OBT valuable experience in managing complex logistics operations in Mauritania.
OBT provides reliable transportation and logistics services across Africa. OBT Mauritania combines local connections with the group's headquarters in Dubai, African offices, and its network of international partners, providing customers with a coordination point in the markets.
The launch of OBT in Mauritania is an important step in the continued growth of the company in Africa. This expansion reflects OBT's commitment to strengthening its presence in key African markets and supporting customers wherever their operations take place.
