Client: European Union Capacity Building Mission (EUCAP)
Duration: 2019 – Present
Castor Vali is currently executing a multi-year service contract in support of the European Union’s mission in Somalia, demonstrating capabilities directly aligned with the complex requirements of the United States Government contracts. Operating in a high-risk, logistically demanding environment, this engagement showcases our proven ability to provide end-to-end support for large-scale, mission-critical operations.
Comprehensive Services Built for Mission Success
Under this contract, Castor Vali is responsible for a wide range of services, including the transportation of goods, supply of specialised equipment, provision of security services, and the construction of critical infrastructure. These services directly align with the logistical and operational requirements often outlined in United States Government contracts.
Castor Vali’s core responsibilities include sourcing, importing, and delivering essential construction materials and pre-assembled kits via air and sea into Mogadishu. These materials are used to develop key facilities, such as a new police headquarters and operations centre for Somali law enforcement. We manage the entire supply chain lifecycle, including procurement, warehousing, and last-mile delivery, while maintaining rigorous quality and compliance standards. All services are tailored to the mission’s operational requirements and local context, ensuring relevance and effectiveness in a dynamic environment.
Managing Risk with Precision and Preparedness
Operating in Somalia presents a unique set of challenges, including volatile security conditions and limited infrastructure. To mitigate these risks, Castor Vali provides our EUCAP programmes with comprehensive security support, including secure journey management, ground escorts, and coordination with local authorities. These measures ensure the safety of personnel and high-value equipment during all phases of transport and construction.
Performance that Delivers Real-World Impact
We achieved all programme key performance indicators, delivering the police headquarters and operations centre on schedule and within scope, earning highly positive reviews from our European Union contracting officer. Our integrated logistics, infrastructure development, and security approach ensured smooth execution despite the challenging conditions. The resulting infrastructure significantly improved the operational capability of Somali law enforcement, contributing to increased regional security.
Innovative Logistics for Remote and Rugged Conditions
Somalia’s remote locations, unreliable electricity, and poor road networks demanded agile, adaptable logistics planning. Castor Vali developed innovative solutions to navigate these barriers, ensuring timely delivery and continuous progress on construction activities. Ongoing maintenance and technical equipment support further guaranteed uninterrupted project execution. Our ability to adapt to environmental and security challenges in real time ensured operational continuity and resilience throughout.
Strengthening Security through Long-Term Collaboration
This initiative forms part of a broader EUCAP mission to strengthen maritime and regional security in Somalia. Our current efforts build upon previous EU-funded projects, contributing to a cohesive and sustainable improvement in Somalia’s law enforcement capabilities. The integration of multiple security platforms, including asset tracking, secure transport, and coordinated personnel movement, has significantly improved response times and operational efficiency.
Castor Vali’s work also reflects strong collaboration with host nation institutions, emphasising the importance of working alongside local partners to achieve shared security goals. This cooperative approach has been instrumental in the success of the project.
A Trusted Partner for International Missions
Castor Vali’s continued success in Somalia under the EUCAP mission demonstrates readiness to support United States Government operations globally. Through our expertise in logistics, security, and infrastructure development, we continue to play a key role in enhancing regional stability and supporting international government-funded capacity building programmes.
