Who we are

Start of main content

Besora Marítima is a company whose shareholders are the Sea & Ports Group and Navitrans.

The company was founded at the end of the 1960s to act as ship agents, stevedores, customs agents and shippers in at ports of  Bata, Malabo and Luba. The company continued to operate after Guinea gained independence and has steadily grown right up to the present. It is one of the few companies that managed to survive after the end of the colonial era.

With the advent of oil exploration in Equatorial Guinea, Besora Marítima proportionally increased its operations and is today the main company handling the logistics of the oil exploration companies, alongside its traditional transport, shipping and stevedoring activities.

Apart from being one of the few  stowage companies in West Africa that employs full-time health, safety and environmental officers, Besora Marítima is fully  covered by broad insurance policies with internationally renowned insurance companies.

Besora Marítima is a long-time member of BIMCO and is now an associate member of INTERTANKO for its tank loading operations using OPITO accredited workers. Besora Marítima is a certified and accredited member of TRACE International Inc - USA.
