Sahara Sea Support Services Ltd.

The core business of this company is in the provisioning of bunkering services. The company was established primarily to service the vast number of ocean tankers, vessels and tugs plying the West African shipping lanes.

Over time, the company expanded its portfolio to complement its bunkering operations with the acquisition of various sizes of oil tankers ranging between 5000MT to 30000MT deadweight. All the vessels operate within the West African region with most of them under long-term charter leases.

The company was also one of the earliest ship owners to implement the Nigeria Cabotage law and is fully active in the application of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) standard to all its vessels operating in the region.
