Coastal Shipping

Economical coastal shipping and storage in South Africa

Transit for domestic transport of full container loads (FCLs) from coast locations Port Elizabeth, Richards Bay, Cape Town and Durban to port Ngqura ports don’t have to be expensive. Coastal shipping intra-South Africa allows you to save significantly on transportation and streamline your supply chain while reducing carbon emissions. Removing road or rail from long-haul domestic transits can also reduce warehousing costs.
