Sea Freight

Afro Asian Logistics (AAL) provides an integrated Sea Freight Forwarding service from a network based in Johannesburg. Four other South African offices and a network of agents spread across several southern African countries give AAL extensive market reach. Close relationships with most of the major shipping lines and maintaining contracts with some of them secures us attractive rates which we can then pass on as very competitive offers to our customers, with minimum margins.

As a small company, our low overhead costs enable us to keep lower margins and to allow us to give the customer better pricing than our larger competitors. Our close proximity to the Johannesburg International Airport adds the benefit of several airline options to the global marketplace.

We prioritise our customers and offer personalised, customer-centric freight solutions. Our services include the following:

FCL, LCL, Breakbulk and Ro Ro Cargo
GOH services for textiles including fabrication of containers for GOH
Out of Gauge cargo and Project Cargo handling
