On-Carriage
Services
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As a shipping line with extensive experience
of on-carriage in West Africa, we provide through transport services
to and from the land-locked countries of Burkina Faso, the Central
African Republic (CAR), Chad, Mali and Niger.
Using a single document, the Combined Transport Bill
of Lading (CBTL), we take full responsibility for the safe shipment
and delivery of cargo whether it has to move by road, rail, or waterway,
no matter how many different stages the cargo must go through before
reaching its final destination.

OTAL arranges all your shipping, trucking, and transit
formalities giving you the confidence that comes with entrusting
cargo to a single experienced organisation. Our global network of
established agents guarantees direct control, local expertise and
on-line advice. By controlling every link in the transport chain
and tracking every consignment from start to finish, we ensure that
your
cargo is always delivered safely and securely.
Furthermore, we provide a competitive through transport
tariff giving shippers ready access to simplified all-in quotes with
charges made under a single invoice. In short we take way the headaches
that shipping between Europe and West Africa so often entail.
We also manage local haulage operations throughout
our West African coastal markets.
