One holding. Five sovereign jurisdictions. Nine integrated disciplines. ETL is the accountable counterparty for operators routing cargo, crews and energy assets across West & Central Africa.
From the Gulf of Guinea to the Congo Basin, ETL Holding is the integrated counterparty operators call when downtime is not an option.
Exodus Transports & Logistics Holding was founded in Port-Gentil in 2013 as a Gabonese SARL with a single conviction — that operators servicing the Gulf of Guinea deserved one accountable partner, not a procurement matrix of fragmented vendors. Twelve years on, ETL operates as a vertically integrated group across Gabon, Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Côte d'Ivoire and Togo, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in each market.
The holding consolidates ship agency, maritime security, logistics and customs brokerage, offshore representation, fuel bunkering, waste treatment, modular construction and large-scale agriculture under unified governance. Clients sign one master agreement and clear one invoice — the cross-border execution is ours to coordinate.
Our work supports the majors that anchor the region's economy — TotalEnergies, Perenco, Maurel & Prom, Tullow Oil — alongside cruise operators, mining concessions and freight integrators. The standard we measure against is not regional; it is the global benchmark our clients apply at headquarters.
Each subsidiary is locally incorporated, locally licensed and locally led. The holding underwrites delivery; the country team executes.
Cross-border operations demand patience, redundancy and institutional memory. We have all three, accumulated since 2013.
HSE protocols, ISPS-compliant security, customs-bonded operations, waste handling certified to international standards.
No layered brokerage. Principals are reachable, crews are ours, equipment is on our balance sheet.
