Shipping to Lome, Togo - West Africa's Deep-Water Hub

Shipping to Lome: Gateway for 3 Landlocked Countries

Lome is Togo's capital and home to one of West Africa's deepest container terminals - the Lome Container Terminal (LCT) - serving not only Togo but also landlocked Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. SPEED INT'L ships FCL, LCL and break bulk cargo from China to Lome in approximately 25-35 days, with reliable clearance and onward inland delivery.

Why Lome Stands Out

Deep-water terminal: LCT handles the largest container vessels serving West Africa - fewer transshipment delays.
Inland reach: The corridor to Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Bamako (Mali) and Niamey (Niger) is well developed.
BESC/CTN requirement: All Togo-bound cargo requires the BESC (Bordereau de Suivi de Cargaison) certificate - we issue it before loading.

From China Factory to Lome: A Real Project

SPEED INT'L delivered 42 containers of building materials for a Ouagadougou construction group - FCL to Lome, BESC issued pre-departure, and customs-cleared trucking to Burkina Faso within 2 weeks of vessel arrival.
