Sending cargo to Ghana from Gravesend (DA11/DA12)? Rolats collects free from New Road, Windmill Street, the town centre and the streets around Gravesend Market. Our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street is a short run up the A2 and over the Dartford Crossing. 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 with nothing to pay on arrival.
A diverse riverside town, honestly served
Gravesend is one of Kent's most mixed towns — best known for its large Sikh community around the Gurdwara, but with a growing African presence too as families settle along the Thames corridor. Our Ghanaian customers here are fewer than in East London, but they are real, and they need the same reliable service. From the market stalls to the terraces off Windmill Street, we collect free and ship straight home.
Air freight to Accra — £5.90/kg
When something needs to reach Ghana quickly — documents, phones, medicine, a parcel of clothes for a family occasion — air is the fastest option. At £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee, your cargo lands at Kotoka Airport in Accra within days. Simple, quick, and reliable from anywhere in DA11 or DA12.
Barrels and bags by sea from £70
For the heavy shipments — barrels packed with gari, shito, dried fish and palm oil, or Ghana Must Go bags stuffed with provisions — sea freight is the economical route. Bags start at £70 and arrive at the Port of Tema in around 4-6 weeks, clearing through ICUMS. Fill your barrel at home in Gravesend and leave the logistics to us.
Cars and container shares
Planning to send a vehicle or take a slot in a shared container from Gravesend? We quote both to Tema, arrange the CTN and paperwork, and deliver onward to Accra, Kumasi or your family's region. Tell us what you have and we will give you a clear figure.
All-in GBP pricing, nothing due in Ghana
Rolats prices every job in pounds, all-in. We raise the CTN before your cargo sails, clear Ghana customs through ICUMS, and deliver door-to-door — so your relatives pay nothing on arrival. Trading since 2007, HMRC Customs Authorised, Companies House registered, and rated 4.7/5 by customers.
