About Coega
Coega — the Port of Ngqura — is South Africa's newest and deepest container terminal, built alongside an industrial development zone near Gqeberha. Its depth lets it take vessels Durban cannot, and it operates as a transshipment hub for the southern African trade. The adjacent zone means the customs path differs for consignees inside it.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Coega — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 21–27 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider South Africa lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
