Services

Eleven services covering the whole journey — booking, shipping, clearing, storing and delivering. Pick the parts you need, or hand us the lot.

Container ship at sea
Our busiest service

Sea freight

Full container loads and shared container loads from the Gulf, Asia, Türkiye and East Africa into Mogadishu, Bosaso and Berbera.

If you are shipping a full 20ft or 40ft box, we book the space, arrange the stuffing at origin and hand you a bill of lading. If you have less than a container, we put your goods in a shared box with other customers and you only pay for the space you use. Either way the rate covers the ocean leg, port charges and our handling.

  • Full container load (FCL)
  • Shared container load (LCL)
  • 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube
  • Reefer containers for chilled cargo
  • Bill of lading issued same week
  • Marine insurance on request
When it cannot wait

Air freight

For medicine, spare parts, documents and anything that cannot sit on a vessel for three weeks.

We book cargo space on scheduled flights into Aden Adde International Airport and onward to regional airstrips. Urgent bookings taken in the morning are usually in the air within 48 hours. Our agent is inside the airport cargo shed, so clearance starts the moment the aircraft is offloaded.

  • General and express air cargo
  • Cold-chain and temperature-controlled
  • Dangerous goods with correct paperwork
  • Charter arranged for large volumes
  • Airport-to-airport or door-to-door
  • Clearance handled on arrival

Land transportation

Trucks and trailers from the port gate to towns across Somalia and over the border into Ethiopia and Kenya.

We run flatbeds, box trucks, tippers and container chassis. Routes we cover every week include Mogadishu to Baidoa, Beledweyne, Dhuusamarreeb, Galkacyo, Garowe and Bosaso. Drivers report position at each stop so your tracking page stays current while the cargo is on the road.

  • Container haulage from the port
  • Flatbed and low-bed for machinery
  • Box trucks for general cargo
  • Cross-border to Ethiopia and Kenya
  • Escorted convoys where needed
  • Position reported at each stop

Eight more services

The support work that keeps a shipment moving once it lands.

Cargo handling

Loading, offloading, lashing and securing at the port and at your site. Our crews handle bagged goods, pallets, drums, vehicles and project cargo.

Freight forwarding

We act as your agent for the whole journey: choosing the carrier, booking the space, preparing documents and chasing everyone who touches the shipment.

Customs clearance

Duty assessment, declarations, inspection and release, handled by our own licensed agents inside Mogadishu Port and Aden Adde Airport.

Warehousing

Covered, guarded storage close to the harbour. Store a full container and take it out in batches as your shop or site needs it.

Container services

Container sale, lease, stuffing, de-stuffing and repositioning. We can also convert a container into a store or site office.

Import & export services

Sourcing support, supplier checks, letters of credit guidance and export documentation for Somali goods heading out.

Door-to-door delivery

One booking from your supplier's factory to your address. We carry the whole chain and you get one invoice at the end.

Logistics management

For customers shipping every month: a planned schedule, agreed rates, monthly reporting and a dedicated account manager.

How our pricing works

No hidden lines. A quote from us always shows these four parts separately, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and compare us fairly with anyone else.

Questions we get asked most

One working day for standard sea and road routes. Air freight and urgent bookings usually come back the same afternoon. Send the route, the weight and what is inside, and that is enough for us to price it.

Yes. That is called a shared container load, or LCL. Your goods travel in a box with other customers and you pay only for the space you use. It suits small traders and anyone testing a new supplier.

Yes. We are a licensed clearing agent with staff inside the port and the airport. We prepare the declaration, calculate the duty, attend the inspection and get the release. You do not need to visit the port yourself.

Standard carrier liability applies to every shipment, but it is limited. For valuable goods we strongly recommend marine cargo insurance, which we can arrange for a small percentage of the cargo value. Ask for it when you request your quote.

Weapons, ammunition, narcotics, counterfeit goods and anything banned under Somali law or the rules of the country of origin. Some dangerous goods can be shipped with the correct declarations — talk to us before you book.
