Cargo from Benin to Karachi

Alliance Shipping helps businesses move cargo from Benin to Karachi, Pakistan. Benin and Pakistan both share a strong trade relationship. You can also use these trade relationships in your favor by sending cargo to Pakistan and getting a bigger market than Benin. Alliance Shipping allows you to access reliable freight solutions that bridge West Africa and South Asia. Our extensive understanding of customs regulations, port logistics, and regional trade agreements ensures that your cargo reaches Karachi Ports safely and on time.

Benin & Pakistan Trade History

Benin, officially known as the Republic of Benin, is a country in western Africa. Benin, unfortunately, has been poor like many of its neighboring nations. However, the country has been making progress in recent years. Benin has a rich history of agriculture and is one of the major exporters of cotton and palm oil. Pakistan and Benin do share good trade relationships.

According to OEC, the trade volume for 2023 exports to Pakistan was around $44.1m. It is a big number. The main commodities coming from cargo from Benin to Karachi, Pakistan, include Soybeans, raw cotton, soybean meal, and different agricultural products. The trade between both countries is projected to grow in the coming years.

Sending Cargo from Benin to Karachi

Alliance Shipping uses sea and air cargo routes to ship cargo from Benin to Karachi. The sea routes use major transshipment hubs such as Cotonou Port, then via ports like Jebel Ali or Port Klang, and finally to Karachi seaports like Karachi Port and Bin Qasim Port. On the other hand, the air route uses various connecting flights and finally arrives at Jinnah International Airport.

We offer a comprehensive range of shipping services, including LCL (Less than Container Load) and FCL (Full Container Load) options. Our container solutions cater to various cargo needs, featuring 20 ft and 40 ft standard containers, ISO tanks, flat racks, and several other specialized container types.

Sea Routes for Benin to Pakistan Cargo Shipments

The Port of Cotonou to Karachi Port

Alliance Shipping uses the Port of Cotonou to move cargo from Benin to Karachi. Cotonou Port is very important for Benin and is seen as the country’s economic center. Most of the country’s trade and goods pass through this port. It can handle over 10 million tonnes of freight and 500,000 containers. So, when it comes to shipping from Benin to any country, we always suggest our clients go with the Cotonou Port.

There are many special zones in the Port Cotonou such as:

Zone 1: For bulk goods and general cargo

Zone 2: Area between the railway and customs fence

Zone 3: Between customs fence and Boulevard de la Marina

Zone 4: Land and buildings between Boulevard de la Marina and Boulevard Jean Paul II

Zone 5 (ZEP): Extra Port Zone in Akpakpa

Extension Zone: Inside the harbor area

When your cargo leaves the Cotonou Port, Alliance Shipping ensures every safety measure is taken care of, be it container sealing or handling. Your shipments will be received at Karachi Port, Pakistan’s biggest port, which handles a massive volume of incoming shipments. There, we manage customs clearance, unloading, and delivery to your destination.

Porto-Novo to Bin Qasim Port

Another port we frequently use is the Porto-Novo Port. Porto-Novo is the capital city of Benin, and its port also imports and exports cargo from Benin to Karachi. For many of our clients, we use this port to transport agricultural products such as packaged foods, medicines, building materials, etc. Porto-Novo is also equipped with the latest facilities to handle a wide range of cargo.

On average, it handles 1.8 to 2.0 million TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) yearly. Apart from Karachi Port, Port Bin Qasim is frequently used, too. In fact, Port Qasim was made to handle the shipment load of Karachi Port and make it more efficient and less congested. Alliance Shipping handles every cargo perfectly, from pickup to final delivery.

Port of Bohicon to Bin Qasim Port

Bohicon Port is another port located in Benin. It is smaller than the other ports, Porto-Novo and Cotonou. Despite being small, Benin’s government is investing in this port. They are expanding it with modern shipping infrastructure and equipment so it can handle bulk and heavy cargo and ease the load on the other two major seaports of Benin. Alliance Shipping handles shipments from here, too. We aim to provide our clients with the best seaports for sending their cargo from Benin to Karachi.

Sea Cargo Rates Benin to Karachi

Alliance Shipping provides various shipping options. We have standard containers of 20 and 40 feet for your cargo needs. Apart from standard containers, we ship specialized containers such as flat racks, open-top containers, refrigerated containers, and ISO tanks. The average estimated price is $3000 and $5000 (20 and 40-foot containers) because prices depend on cargo type, container size, shipping method, route, and seasonal demand.

Alliance Shipping Air Cargo Services

We provide a wide range of services to fulfil our customers’ shipping needs for cargo from Benin to Karachi.

Urgent deliveries sometimes can’t wait 40 to 50 days, and that’s where air cargo comes in. It’s faster, more reliable for time-sensitive goods, and ideal for high-priority shipments.

We use Cotonou Cadjehoun International Airport (COO), Benin’s main international airport, for air cargo shipments from Benin to Pakistan. Benin has 8 to 9 airports, but only one international airport, Cotonou Cadjehoun, used for travel and cargo needs.

Currently, there are no direct commercial flights between Benin and Pakistan. Depending on the airline, cargo is typically routed through major international transit hubs such as Istanbul, Doha, or Dubai.
