AT AGS
We Make Shipping Look Easy and Affordable.
Our Services Include
Groupage & Consolidation
Why wait to fill a container when your goods can be on their way now? Our unique groupage services ensure that your cargo moves efficiently, without the need to wait for full container loads, making us a trusted partner in the logistics industry.
AGS was born out of the need to offer direct groupage services from South Africa to West Africa, specifically targeting destinations like Sierra Leone and Liberia. AGS offers specialised groupage services, allowing you to ship smaller consignments with ease. We specialise in sea consolidation services, expertly handling several Less than Container Load (LCL) consignments to various West African locations, including Senegal, Ivory Coast, Mali, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. By combining shipments from multiple clients heading to the same location, we reduce costs and expedite delivery.
Unlike other providers, AGS handles everything in-house—from customs clearance to final delivery. We offer direct transport services, eliminating the need for multiple agents and reducing the time it takes for your goods to reach their destination. With fortnightly sailings to West Africa, even when containers aren’t fully loaded, we guarantee efficiency and reliability at standard rates.
