Sea Freight From Perth to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
The most affordable way to send boxes, furniture, appliances, vehicles and machinery to East Africa. One sailing every month from Fremantle, customs handled by our team, and delivery to the selected destination city at the other end.
What Happens on a Monthly Sailing
Sea freight runs to a monthly rhythm. Cargo from every Australian state comes to our Canning Vale depot, is checked and loaded, and leaves Perth together on the next sailing.
Because we consolidate many customers’ cargo into each container, you only pay for the space your goods take up. That is what keeps a box to Nairobi or Dar es Salaam affordable.

Drop-off or collection
Bring your cargo to Canning Vale or we arrange collection from your address anywhere in Australia. Everything is checked, recorded and labelled.
Loaded and cleared for export
Our team loads and secures your goods in the container and prepares the Australian export paperwork.
The ship leaves Fremantle
Your shipment is on its way. You receive an update, and you can follow progress on our tracking page.
Cleared and delivered
We clear the cargo through customs at the destination and deliver it to the selected destination city.
Shared Container or a Full Container of Your Own
Most customers share. If you are moving a whole household or shipping vehicles and machinery, a container to yourself can make more sense.
Shared Container (LCL)
Your boxes or items travel alongside other customers’ cargo and you pay only for the space you use. Ideal for anything from one box to a few pieces of furniture.
Shared container shipping
Full Container (FCL)
A whole container for your goods only. Suited to a full house move, several vehicles, machinery or business stock.
Full container shippingHow Long Sea Freight Takes to Each Destination
Estimated transit times, counted from the day the ship leaves Perth. These include customs clearance and delivery at the other end.
Sea freight departs once a month, so the date you hand over your cargo matters. Ask us for the next cut-off date and we will tell you which sailing your goods will make.
Estimates only. Port congestion, weather, public holidays and customs inspections can add time. We keep you updated and you can check progress on our tracking page. Confirm the estimate for your destination city when booking.
