The South African sea freight special line transportation methods include full container transportation and bulk LCL, which takes about 70 days to reach South Africa by sea. Currently, China's exports to South Africa by sea mainly come from the port of Johannesburg.

What are the modes of transportation on the South African Maritime Special Line?

1. Full container transportation: Full container transportation is usually chosen by some enterprises or major customers, with a relatively fast time and high safety. It is usually one ticket per container or multiple containers per ticket, and generally travels relatively infrequently.

2. Bulk cargo consolidation: Bulk cargo consolidation is suitable for some customers with relatively low transportation volume, and the delivery time may be delayed by a few days because it requires consolidation of enough cargo to make up one box before shipping. Usually, it is three invoices and one container, which means three cargo owners can consolidate one container.

South African double clear inclusive sea freight fee: calculated by square meter, with a real weight of 1:350KG and a volume of 1:167KG. If the goods are less than one party, the other party will receive them. If the goods are sold, the cubic meter will be charged based on length * width * height. 3000 to 6000 square meters.

South African Ocean Shipping Schedule: Deadline every Saturday, container loading next Thursday, and departure on Sunday. The customs clearance port is Johannesburg, and it takes about 75 days to arrive at the self pickup warehouse. Delivery is required for consultation with customer service.
