Our values, our means
- A large network BIOPORT draws on a large network of forwarding agents and hauliers that we put into competition in order to get the best service at the best price.
- A real experience Since our creation in 1994, we have acquired real experience in international transport for international solidarity organisations.
- Non-profit organisation BIOPORT, under the law of 1901, is a non-profit organisation for the benefit of populations in situations of difficulty, distress, or poverty.
BIOPORT has a strong understanding of what is required for humanitarian projects with organising shipments, particular constraints, dealing with local authorities for customs clearance processes including tax exemptions, and the different destinations. The BIOPORT workforce makes it possible to increase the capacity of the Solidarités International team when required for dispatch. In 2020, the sudden halt in commercial air travel had a strong impact on the ability of international NGOs to move equipment necessary for humanitarian activities in a range of situations. BIOPORT quickly demonstrated its capacity to act as intermediary for NGOs, identifying opportunities and constraints for organising our transport. Organised by the French government and NGOs, a humanitarian air bridge was set up between April and September 2020. The operational team of the Humanitarian Logistics Network, which I supervised, coordinated the NGOs. Naturally, we included Bioport as a premium partner in our operations, with their detailed knowledge of airport constraints and their familiarity with NGOs
