Shipping from Dubai to Africa
Our core lane. We move vehicles, machinery, spare parts and commercial cargo from Dubai to ports and inland destinations across East, Central, West, North and Southern Africa by sea, air and RoRo, cleared through our own African offices.
China to Africa via Dubai
We consolidate supplier cargo, electronics, auto parts and vehicles from China and route them to African markets, using Dubai as a transshipment hub to combine shipments and reduce cost and transit friction.
Import into Dubai & re-export
Bring goods into the UAE and hold them in bond at JAFZA, then re-export to their final destination without triggering local duty on transit stock, ideal for traders using Dubai as a distribution base.
