Ocean freight isn't just about booking space on a vessel, it's about understanding routes, rates, regulations, and relationships.

We're not just your average freight forwarder; we're your logistics partner in global trade.
Why Choose Vuyela Freight
Trusted South African freight booking agent with decades of experience
Partnerships That Open Doors
Our relationships with major shipping lines aren't just business connections, they're partnerships built on trust and performance. When you need space on a vessel, we don't just make phone calls; we leverage relationships that we've cultivated over years. This means better rates, priority booking, and access to routes that others can't guarantee. Worldwide coverage isn't a promise; it's a reality built on real relationships with real shipping lines.
From Asia to Everywhere
While Asia remains a primary trade corridor for South African exports, our capabilities extend far beyond. We've facilitated shipments to Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and beyond. The question isn't "Can we ship there?", it's "When do you need it there?" Our network of shipping partners ensures that no destination is out of reach, and no requirement is too complex.
Customs Made Simple
Border clearance isn't just paperwork, it's navigating complex regulations, understanding tariff codes, and knowing which procedures apply when. Our customs expertise comes from years of handling everything from straightforward exports to complex imports with special requirements. We don't just file documentation; we understand the system, anticipate challenges, and solve problems before they become delays. South African borders, neighboring countries, or international destinations, we handle it all.
Documentation That Works
Shipping documentation can make or break an export. Get it wrong, and your cargo sits at port while you fix errors. Get it right, and everything flows smoothly. We handle all documentation, from bills of lading to certificates of origin, from customs declarations to export permits. Our team understands that documentation isn't just paperwork; it's the foundation of successful international trade. We get it right the first time, every time.
Flexibility That Fits
Not every shipment is a full container, and not every route is standard. We understand that your cargo volumes, timelines, and destinations vary. That's why we offer flexible shipping solutions, whether you need one container or one hundred, standard routes or specialized handling. Competitive rates don't mean one-size-fits-all; they mean solutions that fit your specific needs and budget. Large volumes or small, we make it work.
Experience You Can Trust
Decades of combined experience means we've seen it all, from standard container shipments to oversized cargo, from perishable goods to hazardous materials. Our network of carriers isn't just a list; it's a curated selection of partners we trust with our clients' cargo. This experience becomes your advantage: we know what works, what doesn't, and how to handle challenges before they become problems.
