Sending cargo to Ghana from Tilbury (RM18)? Rolats collects free from Civic Square, Tilbury Town station, the streets by the Port of Tilbury and out to East Tilbury. Our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street is a short run along 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 port town, diversifying fast
Tilbury lives and breathes shipping — the Port of Tilbury has moved cargo for generations. Today the town itself is diversifying, with more African families settling around Civic Square, the docks and out towards East Tilbury. If you are a Ghanaian household here, you have a freight forwarder practically on your doorstep in Dagenham, and free collection from your RM18 door.
Air freight to Accra — £5.90/kg
Some things cannot wait for a ship. Documents, medicine, phones and clothes for a family occasion go by air, reaching Kotoka Airport in Accra within days. The rate is £5.90 per kilo plus a £20 handling fee — quick, reliable and easy to book from anywhere in Tilbury.
Barrels and bags by sea from £70
In a town built on docks, sea freight feels natural. Barrels of gari, shito, dried fish and palm oil, and Ghana Must Go bags of provisions, start at £70 and sail into the Port of Tema in around 4-6 weeks, clearing through ICUMS. Pack your barrel at home in Tilbury and we manage every step to the door in Ghana.

Shipping a car or sharing a container from Tilbury? We quote both, raise the CTN, handle the paperwork and deliver onward from Tema to Accra, Kumasi or your home region. Send the details and we will price it clearly.
