Sending cargo to Ghana from Chatham (ME4)? Rolats collects free from Chatham High Street, The Pentagon Centre, Luton and Walderslade — right across Medway's biggest town. Our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street is a straightforward run up the A2/M2. 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.
Medway's biggest town, working families served
Chatham is the largest of the Medway towns — a busy, working-class place built around its historic dockyard heritage. Its African community is modest but real, spread through Luton, Walderslade and the streets off the High Street. We do not overstate the numbers; we simply say that if you are a Ghanaian family in Chatham, we collect free from your door and get your cargo home reliably.
Air freight to Accra — £5.90/kg
For anything urgent — a passport, medicine, phones, a bundle of clothes — air freight from Chatham reaches Kotoka Airport in Accra within days. The rate is £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee. It is the fast lane when a family event or deadline back home is coming up.
Barrels and bags by sea from £70
The dockyard town knows shipping, and sea freight is how the heavy loads travel. Barrels of gari, shito, dried fish and palm oil, and Ghana Must Go bags of provisions, start at £70 and land at the Port of Tema in about 4-6 weeks, clearing through ICUMS. Pack at home in Chatham and we do the rest.
Cars and containers to Tema
Sending a car or sharing a container from Chatham? We quote both, raise the CTN, handle the customs paperwork and deliver onward from Tema to Accra, Kumasi or your home region. Send the details and we will price it clearly.
One all-in GBP price, nothing due in Ghana
Every Rolats quote is all-in and in pounds — collection, CTN, customs clearance and door-to-door delivery covered. Your relatives in Ghana pay nothing on arrival. We have run this service since 2007, we are HMRC Customs Authorised, and customers rate us 4.7/5.
