About Alov Air-Sea Ltd, Freight Forwarding Across West Africa
A customs-approved freight forwarder moving cargo by air, sea and road across West Africa and worldwide.
An Independent Freight Forwarder Founded in 2012
Alov Air-Sea Ltd is an independently owned freight forwarder with its head office in Surulere, Lagos. We are customs approved, and our team has decades of combined experience moving cargo through West African ports and borders. A global network of vetted agents takes your shipment to any airport or port it needs to reach.
We move cargo by sea, air and road. Our people know customs procedures in Nigeria and follow regulatory changes across West Africa. Customs rules change often, and a small mistake in the paperwork can cost days at port.
We handle automotive cargo, industrial equipment, household effects, fine art, diplomatic shipments and dangerous goods. You might be importing construction machinery into Lagos or sending an exhibition to Europe. In both cases we manage pickup, customs clearance and final delivery.
Consolidating orders from several suppliers lowers your international freight costs. When your supply chain runs on just-in-time delivery, we time each shipment to arrive in its window. Our warehouses handle secure storage, pick and pack distribution and inventory management on site.
We are active members of the Easyfresh Strategic Alliance and First Worldwide Network, and we carry full liability insurance on every shipment. Both networks check their members against published quality standards, so the agent at the other end of your shipment has been checked too.

Air Freight
Air freight to and from airports worldwide. Direct relationships with the major airlines give you express, consolidated and charter options, with tracking from pickup to delivery.

FCL in 20ft and 40ft containers and LCL consolidation on every major trade route. Our carrier relationships keep schedules flexible and transit times predictable.

Heavy lift, out-of-gauge and oversized loads that do not fit a standard container. We have moved industrial equipment, construction machinery and full installations across West Africa, including route surveys and vessel charters.
Customs Clearance
We are customs approved, so our own team handles the documents, duty calculations and compliance for imports and exports. Direct lines to customs help us stop delays early.
Warehousing and Distribution
Secure storage for transit holds and longer-term stock. Pick and pack distribution runs daily, weekly or to order, in line with your supply chain.
We Work to Your Incoterms
We ship under the major Incoterms, including DDU, DDP, EXW, DAP and FOB. The cost split and delivery responsibilities follow the terms in your contract, for a single consignment or a supply chain with many origins.
