Sea Freight and Ocean Shipping Services for West Africa
Full container loads, reefer containers, HAZMAT, oversized cargo and worldwide ocean freight forwarding by Alov Air-Sea Ltd.
Ocean Freight from Purchase Order to Delivery
We handle international sea freight between West African ports and ports worldwide, and we track your cargo all the way to its destination. Our team also takes care of planning, cost analysis, terms of sale and letters of credit. First-time exporters often find this financial side the hardest part.
Choosing the right shipping line, container type and packing method takes experience, and our ocean export staff make these decisions every day. We negotiate rates with the carriers, book the shipment and prepare the export documents. The process is the same for a single FCL out of Lagos or a shipment that combines sea and road.

From the Port to the Final Destination
When your ocean cargo arrives at port, our inland transportation team arranges road haulage to its final destination anywhere in West Africa. If some parts of your supply chain need to arrive sooner, our air freight team ships them alongside your ocean consignment. For heavy lift or oversized cargo that needs special vessels, our project cargo team manages the full chain from origin to site.
Customs Handled In-House
We are customs approved and members of the Easyfresh Strategic Alliance, First Worldwide Network and FIATA, so customs documents and port clearance are handled in-house. Direct carrier relationships keep rates usable and sailing schedules reliable when the global market gets tight.
