Nunu Transport Services Inc.

What Nunu Transport Services Inc. does

Nunu Transport Services Inc. (DBA Nunu Logistics) is a privately-held logistics company founded in 2013 by CEO Sham Hassan and headquartered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The company operates across 8 African countries with a fleet of 256 trucks (up from 23 at founding) and runs four integrated service lines: cargo transportation (containers, chemicals, industrial goods, building materials, refrigerated cargo); clearing and forwarding, with dedicated customs teams stationed at Dar es Salaam port; warehousing (24/7 accessible, including bonded and dry-port facilities); and project handling, delivered as a turnkey service from planning through site delivery. It is a subsidiary of the Nunu Group, a Pan-African conglomerate that also operates fuel distribution and tyre retreading, providing an internal supply chain for fleet servicing inputs.

Underlying technology centers on conventional fleet telematics rather than AI: an SAP-integrated logistics management platform paired with GPS tracking, dashboard cameras, driver-assist alarms, fuel alert systems, and a remote monitoring system. The company states a no-night-driving safety policy and 24/7 service availability on the transport and warehousing sides. Business hours for the head office are Monday-Friday 10:00-17:00 East Africa Time.

The revenue model is transaction-based, charging per-shipment fees across each of the four service streams, with direct B2B sales as the go-to-market motion. Customers are described as spanning multiple industry verticals across the eight operating countries, with no external institutional funding or revenue figures disclosed. The lean public-facing management team (CEO plus functional leads in finance/strategy, administration, finance operations, and workshop management) understates the apparent scale of operations and may indicate organizational buildout is still in progress.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Maersk Logistics & Services: Global integrated logistics provider extending ocean-to-door services into Africa, including inland trucking and customs. Increasingly overlapping with Nunu's port-to-destination service model.
• DHL Global Forwarding: Global freight forwarding and logistics arm of Deutsche Post DHL, with significant African road freight and customs operations. Represents the global 3PL competition entering Nunu's territory.
• Imperial Logistics: One of Africa's largest logistics groups (South Africa-headquartered) with freight forwarding, contract logistics, and distribution across the continent. Comparable end-to-end service model at much larger scale.
• Bolloré Transport & Logistics: Global logistics player with deep African presence across ports, freight forwarding, and logistics. Represents the dominant incumbent competition for African regional logistics operators.

Regional players

• Grindrod Limited: South African freight and logistics group with intermodal, port, and road operations across Southern and parts of East Africa. Comparable as an asset-heavy multi-modal African operator, though focused further south.

Direct peers

• Siginon Group: East African logistics company headquartered in Kenya, offering freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, and transport across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. Closest direct peer given overlapping service mix and East Africa footprint.
• Bakhresa Group: Tanzanian diversified conglomerate with significant logistics, transport, and port-related operations. Direct regional peer with comparable asset-heavy inland logistics and Tanzanian base.

Emerging players

• Boxleo Logistics: East African tech-enabled logistics startup offering freight forwarding, warehousing, and last-mile across Kenya and Uganda. Comparable in service mix but tech-led and at earlier stage.
