About Us
A Somali freight company working out of the Port of Mogadishu, moving goods between Somalia, the Gulf, Asia, Europe and East Africa.

Who we are
Mogadishu Shipping & Cargo LLC is a licensed freight forwarding and logistics company registered in Somalia. We started with one office near the harbour and a handful of containers a month. Today we handle sea, air and road freight for traders, contractors, hospitals, aid programmes and government departments.
What has not changed is how we work. Every booking gets a named person who follows it from the supplier's gate to your door. Our own clearing agents sit inside Mogadishu Port and Aden Adde International Airport, so when a document is missing we fix it that morning instead of sending an email and waiting.
We are not the biggest forwarder on this coast. We are the one that picks up the phone.
- Licensed freight forwarder and customs clearing agent in Somalia.
- Partner agents in the UAE, China, India, Türkiye, Kenya and Ethiopia.
- Covered warehouse space within reach of the port gate.
- Staff who speak Somali, Arabic and English.
What drives the company
Three statements we measure ourselves against every quarter.
Our mission
To move goods in and out of Somalia safely, on time and at a price our customers can plan around. We want a small trader in Bakaara to get the same care as a company shipping fifty containers a year.
Our vision
To make Mogadishu a trusted gateway for East African trade — a port where cargo arrives, clears and moves inland without anyone losing sleep over where their goods have got to.
Our promise
One written price before you commit, one tracking number for the whole journey, and one person you can call. If something goes wrong we tell you before you have to ask.
Core values
Six things we will not trade away to win a booking.
Honesty
The quote you receive is the invoice you pay. If a cost changes, you hear it from us first.
Punctuality
We quote dates we can meet. A late truck costs our customer money, so we treat it as our problem.
Visibility
Every shipment is trackable at every stage. No customer should have to guess where their cargo is.
Respect
A one-pallet customer gets the same answer time as a fifty-container customer.
Care of cargo
Sealed containers, guarded yards, trained handlers. We treat your goods as if we paid for them.
Local commitment
We hire Somali staff, train them, and keep the skills and the income in the country.
