Sahara Logistics Corridor

Freight crossing the corridor averaged four days at the border. The delay was not capacity — the terminals were underused. It was paperwork: three authorities, each requiring documents the others already held, none able to see the others’ status.

Carriers priced the uncertainty into their rates. The corridor was losing volume to longer routes with predictable timings.

We designed a single-window clearance system with track-and-trace across all three authorities, and — harder — negotiated the governance agreement that let them rely on each other’s checks rather than repeating them.

• Single-window submission replacing three parallel document flows
• Track-and-trace visible to carriers, terminals, and all three authorities
• Mutual-recognition agreement removing duplicated inspections
• Terminal operating integration at both ends of the corridor
