In the world of global commerce, ocean freight remains one of the most cost-effective and reliable ways to move goods across continents. As East Africa continues to expand its trade links with Asia, Europe, and the Americas, the demand for dependable sea freight services has never been higher. At Acceler Global Logistics, we are committed to simplifying ocean shipping for businesses by offering structured, transparent, and efficient ocean freight solutions tailored to both importers and exporters.
Whether you’re transporting raw materials, consumer goods, machinery, or project cargo, having the right freight partner makes all the difference. Acceler brings together extensive industry experience, strong relationships with major shipping lines, and a deep understanding of customs and port procedures across the region to ensure every shipment is handled with care and precision.
Why Ocean Freight Still Matters
Despite the rise of air freight and digital trade, ocean freight continues to handle over 80% of global trade by volume. For businesses looking to import or export large volumes at a manageable cost, sea transport remains the best option. Ocean freight allows for the transportation of containerized cargo, breakbulk goods, and even oversized shipments that would be too expensive or impractical to send by air.
In East Africa, especially in countries like Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, ports such as Mombasa serve as major gateways for both local and regional trade. Efficient port handling, cargo visibility, and end-to-end delivery support are critical for ensuring that businesses don’t suffer from unnecessary delays or hidden costs. This is where Acceler Global Logistics adds value.
Our Ocean Freight Services
At Acceler, we offer a full suite of ocean freight services to accommodate a wide range of business needs. Our services include Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments, allowing clients the flexibility to ship based on their volume and budget. Whether you’re moving one container or a dozen, we ensure space availability, competitive rates, and timely vessel bookings.
In addition, we handle:
- Container consolidation and deconsolidation
- Dangerous goods and special cargo handling
- Port-to-door and door-to-door delivery options
- Real-time tracking and shipment updates
- Customs clearance and documentation support
Each shipment is managed by a dedicated team that coordinates logistics from origin to destination. We also provide expert consultation for businesses that are new to international shipping or need help navigating compliance, tariffs, and global regulations.
Global Reach, Local Expertise
While our operations are rooted in East Africa, Acceler’s ocean freight services connect businesses to over 100 global destinations through our partner shipping lines and logistics networks. We manage import and export shipments from countries including China, India, UAE, Turkey, and Europe, and coordinate cargo routing through key ports such as Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, and Port Sudan.
Our understanding of local port infrastructure, customs procedures, and inland distribution allows us to minimize dwell times and deliver faster turnaround for your shipments. Whether you’re moving cargo from the Port of Mombasa to Nairobi, or from Kampala to Shanghai, we have the operational capability to ensure consistency and reliability throughout the journey.
Supporting Business Growth Across Industries
We work with a diverse set of industries — from retail and construction to agriculture and pharmaceuticals. Many of our clients rely on consistent sea freight solutions to replenish stock, support project timelines, or expand their trade capacity.
For importers, we help secure favorable rates and avoid congestion-related delays. For exporters, we provide scalable logistics that support access to international markets. We also assist with required documentation such as bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin.
At every stage, our focus is on removing uncertainty and creating predictable logistics workflows so that businesses can operate smoothly and grow confidently.
Partner with a Freight Provider That Understands East Africa
What sets Acceler apart is our balance of global freight capability and local knowledge. Many international freight companies may offer similar services, but few understand the realities of shipping through East African ports, road networks, and border points. We do.
We’ve built our reputation on trust, timeliness, and transparency. Our teams in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kampala are always available to answer queries, resolve documentation issues, and ensure that your cargo flows seamlessly across borders.
