Air and Sea Freight
Air freight
When time is of the essence for your goods, air transport becomes the optimal choice. It offers fast delivery times, making it particularly advantageous for companies shipping perishable or time-sensitive goods.
With our extensive global network and strong partnerships with airlines, we guarantee the safe and swift movement of your cargo within our network. You can trust us to ensure your goods are always delivered on time.
For air transportation, you will need to provide the LTA (air waybill) to your freight forwarder. The LTA is issued either by the airline or the sender of the package. If you are unfamiliar with the process, don’t worry. Simply reach out to us, and we will guide you every step of the way.
At Sowoba Services, we are committed to providing efficient and reliable air transport solutions, ensuring your cargo reaches its destination promptly and securely. Contact us today for all your air transportation needs.
Sea freight
Sowoba Services recognizes that container shipping offers the most cost-effective solution for international cargo transportation. Whether it’s FCL or LCL, our expertise in container shipping ensures accurate supply chain planning.
Here is a list of documents required for maritime transport:
1. Maritime Bill of Lading (BL)
2. Original purchase invoices for your goods
3. Shipping bill
4. Load inventory
5. Cargo Tracking Note (BSC)
The price of sea freight, whether for Africa or international destinations, depends on factors such as cargo type, size, and weight. Calculations are based on cargo volume or weight, and tariffs can vary based on departure and arrival port costs.
For example, when importing a vehicle by sea to destinations like Côte d’Ivoire and Benin, sea freight costs will differ significantly. It is important to consider additional customs formalities to avoid unexpected taxes.
