About us

A maritime company
built in Senegal

Offshore services, ship management, crew management, marine logistics and oil tanker transportation — delivered from Dakar to the wider West African market.

Who we are

DAROU KHOUDOSS SHIPPING S.A. is a Senegal-based maritime company specialising in offshore services, ship management, crew management, marine logistics and oil tanker transportation.

The company is owned by TOUBA OIL, a Senegalese energy company. That ownership gives our marine operations direct alignment with the requirements of the downstream and offshore energy sector — cargo programmes, terminal windows and offshore campaign schedules are read from the same book.
We operate owned tanker tonnage, manage vessels on behalf of third-party owners, and supply certified crew and marine support to offshore contractors working in Senegalese and regional waters.
Shore management, technical superintendence and the 24/7 operations desk sit together in Dakar, which keeps the distance between a decision and the deck short.
