OFFICE IVOIRIEN DES CHARGEURS

What OFFICE IVOIRIEN DES CHARGEURS does

Office Ivoirien des Chargeurs (OIC) is the official state-mandated Ivorian Shippers' Council, a public institution headquartered in the port zone of Treichville, Abidjan, with secondary operations in San Pedro. Its mandate is to facilitate import/export operations for economic operators in Côte d'Ivoire through mandatory documentation, real-time tracking, and logistics infrastructure. The organization is led by Director General M. SIDIBE Issoufou and operates with 63 employees.

OIC's service portfolio is anchored on four digital platforms: BSC en ligne (Bordereau de Suivi des Cargaisons — an electronic cargo tracking note operated via SGS at bsci.sgs.com), DUT (Document Unique de Transport — digital road-freight documentation at dut-oic.ci), SYSANEV (a cost-analysis and compliance platform for import operations launched May 19, 2026 at sysanev.com), and a real-time geolocation/tracking service built on a GPS platform leased from SGCI under an FDTR concession. Physical infrastructure comprises parking facilities and customs-bonded warehouses in both Abidjan and San Pedro port zones, plus a Technical Center monitoring vehicle movements. The architecture is a platform-plus-port-infrastructure model, with documentation handled digitally and security/logistics services delivered through owned physical assets. Training seminars and master classes (including sessions with Dr. Yann Alix and partners like Webb Fontaine) round out the offering for enterprise chargeurs.

The business model is fee-based and regulatory in nature: OIC collects transaction fees on mandatory BSC and DUT processing for every import/export operation, supplemented by parking and warehouse charges at port zones and managed-services fees for geolocation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customers are effectively all importers and exporters operating through Ivorian ports — a captive base given the legal mandate — with named enterprise users spanning shipping, agribusiness, FMCG (Nestle CI), telecoms (MTN CI), and trading. OIC is a member of UCCA (Union des Conseils des Chargeurs Africains, 19 member councils), holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, and won the Super Prix d'Excellence at the 6th Prix d'Excellence des Entreprises Publiques in October 2024.

Others

• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection and certification company with cargo surveying and trade compliance services that overlap with OIC's BSC cargo tracking function. Operates as a complementary service provider in the Ivorian and broader African trade ecosystem.
• SGS: Global inspection, verification, and cargo tracking company that operates the BSC online platform on OIC's behalf (bsci.sgs.com). Comparable as a trade-flow intermediary and ecosystem participant, though operating as a technology/inspection partner rather than a direct mandate competitor.

Direct peers

Performs equivalent trade facilitation, shipper documentation, and port-zone coordination functions in the West African corridor, serving a directly comparable customer base of importers/exporters.

Regional players
