Based in the Gulf of Guinea, Sedjro Marine Services operates as a multifaceted maritime logistics and support provider, serving the shipping, offshore, and industrial sectors across West Africa. With a strategic operational presence anchored in Cotonou, Benin, and Lomé, Togo, the company functions as a regional hub for vessel support, addressing the logistical and technical needs of shipowners, charterers, and oil and gas operators traversing the West African coast.
The company’s core identity is built around its role as a comprehensive ship chandler and port agency. In this capacity, Sedjro Marine Services facilitates the procurement and delivery of essential supplies, ranging from fresh provisions and bonded stores to deck and engine equipment. Beyond physical supplies, the firm manages complex port formalities, offering shipping agency services that include protective agency representation, crew change logistics, and customs clearance. These administrative functions are designed to streamline port calls and minimize downtime for commercial vessels.
A significant portion of the company’s operations focuses on marine energy and environmental sustainability. Sedjro Marine Services is actively involved in the bunkering sector, engaging in the sale and supply of petroleum products to vessels at anchorage and in port. Complementing its fuel supply activities, the company executes waste management solutions compliant with international maritime regulations. This includes the collection and disposal of ship-generated waste, such as sludge and garbage. Notably, the company has invested in environmental infrastructure within Togo, establishing facilities dedicated to the treatment and recycling of maritime waste oils, thereby integrating circular economy principles into its industrial service portfolio.
To support these varied activities, Sedjro Marine Services utilizes its own fleet of specialized assets, including service craft and tankers capable of performing offshore transfers and waste collection. The company maintains technical teams equipped to handle diving operations, underwater hull cleaning, and security services, ensuring that vessels remain compliant with safety and operational standards like MARPOL and ISPS. Through this diverse range of capabilities, the company functions as a central logistical node for maritime traffic moving through the Bight of Benin and the broader West African region.
