Beira is Mozambique's second-largest port and the natural gateway for Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi through the Beira Corridor - a rail and road network that links the Indian Ocean to the interior. If your buyers are inland traders in these countries, Beira often beats Maputo on both transit time and inland cost. SPEED INT'L offers FCL, LCL and break bulk services from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Ningbo and Shanghai to Beira in approximately 35-45 days.
SPEED INT'L recently moved 2,400 tons of steel rebar and cement plant equipment for a Zimbabwean construction group. The break bulk shipment discharged at Beira, cleared with e-DI in 5 working days, and moved inland by rail - keeping the client's foundation schedule intact.
