More About This Service

FCL vs LCL — Which Do You Need?

Full Container Load (FCL) gives you exclusive use of a container and is most cost-effective for large volumes. Less than Container Load (LCL) lets you share container space with other shippers, making it economical for smaller shipments. We help you choose based on your cargo volume, budget and timeline.

Our Ports & Routes

We move ocean freight via the Port of Mombasa (Northern Corridor, through Uganda) and the Port of Dar es Salaam (Central Corridor, which handles approximately 80% of Rwanda's imports and exports), connecting Rwanda to all major global shipping routes.

Transit Times & Costs

Sea freight is the most cost-effective option for non-urgent, high-volume cargo, with transit typically measured in weeks rather than days. We factor in freight charges, port handling fees, and border transport to give you a clear, all-in landed cost estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which route is faster — Mombasa or Dar es Salaam?
It depends on your specific origin, destination and current corridor conditions. We assess each shipment and recommend the fastest reliable route at the time of booking.
What's the real difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL means the container is exclusively yours — faster and simpler for large volumes. LCL means you share a container with other shippers' cargo, which is more economical for smaller shipments but can add a little time for consolidation.
Do you handle port and border customs for ocean freight?
Yes, end-to-end — from port clearance at Mombasa or Dar es Salaam through to border crossing and final delivery in Rwanda.
Can I track my container in transit?
Yes, we provide container tracking so you always know where your shipment is on its journey.
