Air Freight
When cargo is needed urgently, air freight is the quickest option.
As the industry opens back up, we have more options, with rates that are improving. We have built strong relationships with our agents who in turn ensure that our clients get the best rates & attention to detail. Please feel free to ask us regarding any of the below air freight services:
Commercial Cargo & Personal Effects
Imports & Exports (EXW – DDP) Worldwide
Our team can assist with most aspects of your air freight shipment, from documentation, packaging, inspections & permits, transport to the airline, customs, flights, destination customs, legalities & deliveries to door. We offer the most affordable or fastest routes for your air freight shipments. If we cannot assist, we will refer you to a specialist in the industry.
More than 80% of everything we eat, wear, and use is shipped by sea. Since the 1950s, container shipping has become very popular among shippers due to their standardization and efficiency, and by 2010 containers accounted for 60% of the world’s seaborne trade. Sea freight is not the fastest option, but can be one of the cheapest options for transporting large/heavy consignments.
LCL – Less than Container Load
When you have only a few pallets, boxes or crates to ship, less-than-container-load (LCL) shipping is an economical way to do so.
Based on your dimensions & weight, you only pay for the space you use in a shipping container. The cost of an LCL shipment is calculated based on the actual volume or the space that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container, which is usually at a minimum of 1 CBM or 1000kgs.
FCL – Full Container Load
In FCL shipments, one party owns all the goods in a container.
The benefits of FCL cargo are reduced risk of damage or loss and a quicker transit time as it allows for uninterrupted delivery of cargo from the consignor/shipper to the consignee/buyer, thereby reducing the volume of transshipment operations & handling.
Road Freight
With our network of route & commodity specialists, we can assist with most road freight requirements, be it locally in South Africa or cross-border into Africa for agriculture, mining, manufacturing & other industries.
Nationally: Local transport between all provinces in South Africa
Cross border: Consolidated loads
For smaller shipments, pay only for the space you use to all major destinations in the SADC region.
Dedicated Full Truck Loads
Booking a dedicated vehicle for your consignment means less handling of your goods and door-to-door delivery.
Need to send a small parcel quickly? We can assist with express courier up to 3 tons to & from anywhere worldwide.
Every import & export shipment entails more than just the freight part. Our team can assist you with the proper packaging of your cargo, customs clearance, inspections & permits, special pick up or delivery arrangements, insurance assistance, etc. Give us a call to discuss your needs.
