About Beira
Beira serves central Mozambique and is the coastal end of the corridor into Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi, which accounts for much of its cargo. Its approach channel silts continually and requires constant dredging to hold depth, so draft limits move. It handles containers alongside substantial bulk and fuel traffic.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Beira — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 27–33 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Mozambique lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
