Affordable Ocean Shipping via the Northern Corridor
For cost-effective imports, nothing beats sea freight. Noki Logistics handles sea freight from Mombasa to Kampala — full container loads (FCL) and shared container space (LCL) — moving your cargo from the port through the Northern Corridor to your door in Uganda. We also serve the Dar es Salaam route via the Central Corridor.
FCL vs LCL — Which Do You Need?
FCL suits larger volumes: you get an entire container at a fixed rate. LCL lets smaller shippers share a container and pay only for the space used — ideal for growing businesses testing new stock.
The Mombasa–Kampala Route Explained
Your container arrives at Mombasa port, clears customs, and is trucked via Malaba or Busia to Kampala. Inland transit typically takes 5–10 days after port release, depending on documentation and border traffic.
Sea Freight + Customs Clearance Included
We manage port handling, URA documentation and inland haulage together, so nothing falls between the cracks. Pair this with warehousing in Kampala for storage on arrival.
What Does It Cost to Ship a Container to Uganda?
Ocean freight depends on container size, origin port, volume and season, plus duties set by URA. We show every cost line clearly. Request a quote below or see pricing.
