Full Special Container Sea Freight Shipping Process
End-to-end operational workflow from Tianjin to Mozambique
Our special container logistics process is built for transparency and efficiency. We start with a detailed cargo survey to determine the optimal container configuration — whether 40 HQ OT or 20ft OOG FR. Next, we coordinate with Tianjin Port authorities for vessel space booking on major shipping lines serving the Mozambique route. We handle all documentation, including Bills of Lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, and Mozambique-specific certificates of origin. Upon arrival at Maputo, Beira, or Nacala, our local agent manages customs clearance, import duties, and quarantine inspections.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Common inquiries about OOG container shipping to Mozambique
What are the main Mozambique ports for OOG cargo?
The primary ports are Maputo (south), Beira (central), and Nacala (north). Maputo handles the highest volume of containerized and breakbulk cargo, while Beira and Nacala offer strategic access to inland mining and agricultural regions. We help you choose the best port based on your final delivery location and cargo type.
What documents are required for importing OOG containers to Mozambique?
You will need a Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and an import license for certain commodities. Mozambique customs may also require a pre-shipment inspection certificate and a tax identification number (NUIT). Our team ensures all paperwork is correctly prepared and submitted to avoid clearance delays.
How do you handle over-width cargo exceeding 2352MM?
Cargo wider than 2352mm is typically loaded on a Flat Rack (FR) or Open Top (OT) container. For extreme widths, we use platform or collapsible flat racks with custom lashing and stowage plans. We coordinate with Tianjin Port and the shipping line to secure special permits and ensure safe stowage aboard the vessel.
What is the average transit time from Tianjin to Mozambique?
Transit times vary by port and shipping line. Direct services to Maputo typically take 28-32 days, while Beira and Nacala may take 30-38 days depending on transshipment routes. We provide accurate sailing schedules and can arrange expedited options for urgent project cargo.
Do you offer inland delivery in Mozambique?
Yes. We coordinate truck and rail transport from the port of discharge to your project site or warehouse anywhere in Mozambique. Our local partners handle customs clearance, bonded warehousing, and final delivery, ensuring your OOG cargo reaches its destination without unnecessary handling or delays.
