Ocean Network Express has announced upcoming changes to its agency representation in Senegal, Togo, and Benin as part of its ongoing network and service development in West Africa.
In Senegal, Compagnie Sénégalaise de Transports Transatlantiques – Afrique de l’Ouest (CSTT-AO) has been appointed as ONE’s new agent, effective 1 March 2026, following an initial advisory issued on 30 December 2025. The first vessel to be managed by CSTT-AO will be M V GH Foehn V2609 S and N, with an estimated time of arrival in Dakar on 2 March 2026.
Separately, ONE confirmed that it will change its general agency representation in Togo and Benin effective 1 April 2026. From that date, services in both countries will be handled by Sharaf Shipping Agency, which operates in Togo under Diamond Shipping Services Sarl and in Benin as Sharaf Shipping Agency Sarl.
Sharaf Shipping Agency, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Dubai, is a global maritime services and shipping agency provider with a strong presence across the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian Subcontinent. In Togo and Benin, the group operates through established offices in Lomé and Cotonou, supported by experienced local teams and long-standing operational expertise in both markets.
ONE said the appointment represents an important step in strengthening its activities in Togo and Benin and is expected to further consolidate its regional presence.
The company added that its current agent, R-Logistic, will continue to provide services in Togo and Benin until 1 April 2026, ensuring continuity during the transition period. ONE thanked the R-Logistic teams in both countries for their contribution and cooperation in supporting a smooth handover.
Further details, including contact information for the newly appointed agents, will be communicated closer to the respective effective dates.
