Buyer questions
Which frozen pelagic fish sell best in Senegal?
Mackerel, Sardinella and Ribbonfish account for the largest part of the volumes we ship to Dakar.
Do you sell less than a full container?
No. This corridor is quoted in full container loads (FCL) of approx. 26 - 28 MT net, which keeps the landed cost per kilo competitive. Mixed loads combining several items in one container are possible.
Which Incoterm applies?
Quotes default to CIF Dakar. CFR, FOB and CPT are available if you arrange your own freight or insurance.
