DHL named logistics partner for new African energy centre

DHL has become the preferred logistics partner of South Africa’s Mining, Oil and Gas Services (MOGS) in the development of a new Oilfield Services Complex (OSC) in Saldanha, South Africa.

MOGS, part of the Royal Bafokeng Holdings Group, opened its Saldanha office in Langebaan in May 2010. The company is aiming to create a multi-phased, multi-site OSC in Saldanha. This will include expanding the Oilfield Services Air Logistics Hub serving West, Central & Southern African offshore oil and gas fields.

DHL’s role will include the provision of the following services: bonded chartering services, warehousing and facility management, ocean freight, air freight, road freight, clearing and forwarding, customs brokerage, express logistics and supply base management. When completed in 2015, the Saldanha OSC could extend up to 500 ha and will service major oil companies and multinationals in the west, central and southern African offshore oil and gas fields.

Thomas Nieszner, CEO, Europe, Middle East and Africa, DHL Global Forwarding said: "Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in DHL’s network. Partnering with the continent’s key institutions and organisations to create logistics and service hubs such as this one with MOGS is how we leverage the growth opportunities here as well as add value at the same time."
