Freight and logistics

Export logistics for any cargo, on any lane.

LWD Africa moves more than cars. Tell us what the cargo is, where it is now and where it needs to be, and we quote the movement end to end — collection, export documentation, sea or air freight, customs at both ends and delivery to the final address.

Any cargo

Vehicles, containers, plant and machinery, oversized pieces and household effects.

Any lane

Origin and destination quoted together, including landlocked destinations.

The whole chain

Collection, documentation, sea or air freight, customs at both ends and final delivery.

What we move

Eleven services, one movement.

Pick the one closest to your cargo and we will tell you which of the others it needs, and what the rest of the chain looks like.

You already own it

Vehicle shipping, A to B

You own the car; we move it. Any origin to any destination, by RO-RO or in a container.

FCL and LCL

Container freight

A full container for a large consignment, or a share of one when you have less than a full load.

View service
Roll on, roll off

RO-RO shipping

Anything that drives, driven aboard and driven off. Usually the cheapest way to move a single running vehicle.

View service
Too big for a box

Breakbulk and project cargo

Oversized, overweight and awkward loads that will not go in a container and need to be planned rather than booked.

View service
When the date is the point

Air freight

For cargo that cannot wait for a vessel. Priced on weight and size rather than on space in a hold.

View service
Working equipment

Plant and machinery

Excavators, loaders, generators and production equipment, moved with the paperwork and the securing they need.

View service
Moving a household

Personal effects and removals

Household goods and personal belongings, packed, shipped and cleared, including alongside a vehicle.

View service
The part that goes wrong

Customs clearance and documentation

Export and import declarations, the bill of lading and destination formalities, prepared and lodged.

View service
The last leg

Inland haulage and delivery

Collection before the port and delivery after it, including landlocked destinations.

View service
For the value, not the weight

Cargo insurance

Optional cover arranged for the declared value of the cargo, for the whole journey.

View service
Before it sails

Warehousing and consolidation

Somewhere for cargo to wait, and a way to combine several deliveries into one shipment.

How it works

Four steps from the first message to the final address.

  1. 01
    Tell us what and where

    The cargo, where it is now, where it needs to go and roughly when it is ready. Photographs and dimensions help.

  2. 02
    We quote the lane

    We come back with the mode that suits the cargo — container, RO-RO, breakbulk or air — and what the movement costs, with insurance priced separately.

  3. 03
    Documents and loading

    Export declarations and the bill of lading prepared at origin, then loading, securing and lashing before it sails.

  4. 04
    Clearance and delivery

    Import entries and destination formalities, then inland haulage to the final address.

Lanes

We quote any lane.

The regions below are shortcuts, not limits. "Anywhere else" is a first class answer on both sides — tell us the two addresses and we will quote the movement between them. Tap a region to start a quote with it filled in.

Looking for a car?

The sourcing business is unchanged.

LWD Africa still sources vehicles in the UK, Europe and Asia and ships them into West Africa, with the vehicle directory and the country pages exactly where they were. Freight sits alongside it — if you already own the vehicle, that is the vehicle shipping service.

Send us the cargo and the two ends.

There is no form to fill in and nothing to submit. Answer five short questions and we turn them into a WhatsApp message you can read before it sends — or call the London desk and talk it through.
