Sending cargo to Ghana from Basildon (SS13/SS14)? Rolats collects free from the town centre and Eastgate, Pitsea, Laindon and Vange. Our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street is a straight run down the A13. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus £20 handling into Accra in days; sea freight starts at £70 per bag via the Port of Tema in roughly 4-6 weeks. The CTN is raised before sailing, and we deliver door-to-door across Ghana, priced all-in in GBP — nothing to pay on arrival.
A big new town with a growing African community
Basildon is one of Essex's largest new towns, spreading from the Eastgate Shopping Centre out through Pitsea, Laindon, Vange and Fryerns. Its African community has grown steadily as families settle across the town, and Ghanaian households here send regularly to relatives back home. Wherever you are in SS13 or SS14, we collect free and take your cargo all the way to Ghana.
Air freight to Accra — £5.90/kg
When something needs to be in Ghana fast — documents, medicine, phones, clothes for a family event — air freight from Basildon reaches Kotoka Airport in Accra within days. At £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee, it is the reliable quick option families across the town depend on.
Barrels and bags by sea from £70
For the bulk shipments — barrels of gari, shito, dried fish and palm oil, and Ghana Must Go bags packed with provisions — sea freight is the affordable route. Bags start at £70 and arrive at the Port of Tema in about 4-6 weeks, clearing via ICUMS. Load your barrel at home in Basildon and we handle the rest to the door in Ghana.
Cars and containers to Tema
Sending a car or sharing a container from Basildon? We quote both, raise the CTN, handle the customs paperwork and deliver onward from Tema to Accra, Kumasi or your home region. Send us the details for a clear price.
