Sending cargo to Ghana from South Ockendon (RM15)? Rolats collects free from Derwent Parade, Belhus, Aveley and the streets around South Ockendon. Our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street is a short drive across Thurrock. 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.
Growing African families in the Thurrock estates
South Ockendon is a residential Thurrock town — the Belhus estate, the parades of shops at Derwent Parade, and quiet streets stretching to Aveley and Stifford Clays. It is exactly the kind of area where Ghanaian and other African families have been settling as they move out from East London. Being close to our Dagenham depot, we make free collections from RM15 quick and simple.
Air freight to Accra — £5.90/kg
For anything urgent — documents, medicine, phones, a parcel of clothes for a celebration — air freight from South Ockendon reaches Kotoka Airport in Accra within days. It is £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee, and it is the fast option families reach for when timing back home matters.
Barrels and bags by sea from £70
For the heavy loads — barrels of gari, shito, dried fish and palm oil, and Ghana Must Go bags stuffed with provisions — sea freight is the economical choice. Bags start at £70 and land at the Port of Tema in about 4-6 weeks, clearing via ICUMS. Pack at home in South Ockendon and we handle the journey to the door in Ghana.
Cars and containers quoted
Sending a car or taking a slot in a shared container from South Ockendon? We quote both, raise the CTN, sort the paperwork and deliver onward from Tema to Accra, Kumasi or your home region. Just send the details.
