AMS PORTS AND LOGISTICS

Based in Lomé, Togo, AMS PORTS AND LOGISTICS operates as a specialized maritime service provider and consultancy firm focused on the West African shipping and terminal sectors. The company functions as a strategic partner for stakeholders across the maritime value chain, ranging from vessel owners and fleet managers to port investors and policymakers. Its operations are centered on the Gulf of Guinea, leveraging the strategic importance of the Port of Lomé as a regional hub to facilitate trade and optimize marine activities. The company separates its core business into two primary streams: operational vessel support and high-level port consultancy. On the operational side, AMS PORTS AND LOGISTICS acts as a dedicated ship supplier and logistics facilitator. It provides essential support to vessels calling at West African ports, offering ship chandling services that include the supply of fresh provisions, deck and engine stores, mooring ropes, and other technical equipment. These services are designed to ensure that commercial vessels, including container ships and bulk carriers, can maintain operational readiness and turnaround efficiency while docked in the region. Additionally, the firm manages multimodal transport logistics and container maintenance, supporting the flow of goods from the quayside to the hinterland. Complementing its physical operations, the company provides advisory services aimed at modernizing and improving port ecosystems. Drawing on deep industry expertise regarding African terminal operations, the firm advises clients on critical developmental issues such as port automation, digital transformation, and process optimization. This consultancy wing focuses on helping terminals and liner shipping companies navigate complex market dynamics, enhance productivity, and address emerging industry challenges like decarbonization. By conducting market studies and offering strategic guidance, the company assists investors and infrastructure managers in making informed decisions that drive sustainable growth within the local maritime infrastructure. Through its combination of direct vessel services and strategic advisory capabilities, AMS PORTS AND LOGISTICS plays a dual role in the industry: ensuring the immediate day-to-day welfare of visiting ships while simultaneously contributing to the long-term structural efficiency of the West African port landscape.
