Maurilog

Maurilog, formally known as Mauritanie Logistique SA, stands as a central figure in Mauritania’s industrial and maritime logistics landscape. Established originally in 2001 as the local subsidiary of a major German logistics conglomerate, the company transitioned to independent Mauritanian ownership in 2014. It is now a flagship entity within the Maurinvest Group, operating as a comprehensive service provider specifically tailored to the demanding requirements of the oil, gas, and mining sectors across West Africa. The company’s maritime operations are anchored in the strategic ports of Nouakchott and Nouadhibou, where it manages extensive integrated supply bases. These facilities are designed to support offshore exploration and production activities, particularly for large-scale energy developments like the Grand Tortue Ahmeyim project. Maurilog provides a suite of shore-based services including stevedoring, heavy-lift crane operations, and the management of secure bonded warehouses and yards for drilling equipment. Beyond the quayside, the company acts as a dedicated vessel agent, handling husbandry services, crew changes, and customs clearance to ensure smooth port calls for international ships. To further support regional maritime traffic and project logistics, the company maintains a branch in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, which functions as a strategic hub for procurement and bunkering coordination. Recognizing the technical complexities of the offshore industry, Maurilog has integrated specialized solutions such as marine fuel supply facilitation and hazardous waste management into its portfolio. It maintains a distinct operational framework that combines deep local knowledge with global logistical standards. Although it is a fully locally owned entity, it retains a strategic alliance as the exclusive partner of DB Schenker in Mauritania, enabling it to execute complex global freight forwarding operations from origin to final destination. The organization places a heavy emphasis on regulatory compliance and operational safety, holding multiple ISO certifications accredited by DNV. This adherence to international quality benchmarks allows Maurilog to serve as a primary contractor for multinational energy corporations operating in the region. By prioritizing local content, the company employs a predominantly Mauritanian workforce, ensuring that critical logistical knowledge is retained within the national economy while supporting the full lifecycle of marine and industrial projects.
