Transit
Transit varies with border conditions, so we don't publish fixed times we can't guarantee. Our clients rely on us for consistent, efficient transit across this corridor — our track record and Google reviews speak to it.
Corridor detail
Beira is the closest ocean port to the Copperbelt, which shortens the road leg and the exposure that comes with it. It works well both as a primary route for shorter-haul port access and as a redundancy option when the eastern or southern corridors are congested.
Well suited to
Containerised imports and exports, bulk minerals, and project cargo where the shorter road distance matters.
Track record
Zero cargo losses since 2011 — every load GPS-tracked on two independent systems, and covered up to USD 750,000 in transit.
