International cargo delivery from Africa

Shipping goods from Africa (and back) is a multi–level task that requires taking into account many nuances. This huge continent, with its diverse topography and climatic conditions, requires a special approach when planning and organizing the transportation of goods.
Cargo transportation to Sudan, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Mauritania, Namibia, Nigeria, Madagascar, and Somalia requires increased attention when developing routes and logistics related to the geographical and climatic conditions of these regions.
The company «Mile Logistics» specializes in the organization of international cargo transportation from Africa and back. We know the specifics of routes to various countries of this continent and take into account the specifics of the work of local contractors. Our services ensure reliability, efficiency and optimal prices for cargo transportation from Africa.

Development of an individual route

Cargo transportation to Africa (and in the opposite direction) is possible from any region of Russia. The route is developed taking into account the specifics and value of the cargo, the volume of the shipment, the requirements for urgency, and the level of safety. Shipping to the countries of the western coast and the Mediterranean is carried out through the ports of the Leningrad region and Novorossiysk. Vladivostok is a loading point for transportation to Somalia, Djibouti, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, and other countries in the eastern and southern parts of the continent.

The accompanying documentation is «turnkey»

Competent lawyers of «Mile Logistics» will promptly prepare customs, permits and other transport documentation. In all cases, an amendment is introduced to current changes in legislation, regulatory acts of the transit regions and the destination country are being studied. A responsible approach eliminates errors, forced downtime, and additional checks.

Cargo delivery in the shortest possible time

Cross-docking is used on most routes, which means optimizing delivery times. Cargo is transferred from cars to sea vessels or transport planes at once. Intermediate storage is used only in extreme cases.

Cost optimization for small batches

Small loads are added to the collection containers on a single route. The costs are distributed among all senders proportionally. Shipment is carried out along the route, or in a common logistics hub, with further targeted shipment.

A wide range of additional services

Cargo delivery from Africa is also carried out by our company. Related services: selection of insurance options, organization of escort, representation at customs, assistance with renting foreign warehouses.

Transportation of large-sized objects

We use specialized transport when it is necessary to deliver large-sized or oversized cargo. Construction equipment and heavy machinery are transported in compliance with established safety measures, and most routes are covered by sea vessels.

Transportation to South Africa is also carried out through the trading ports of «Cape Town» and «East London».

Deliveries to the east coast are carried out through «Mombasa» and «Dar es Salaam», which serve cargo transportation to Uganda, Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
