Trade between Turkey and South Sudan has been growing steadily, driven by demand for quality manufactured goods, machinery, building materials, and everyday consumer products. For businesses in South Sudan looking to import goods in bulk, sea freight from Turkey is one of the most cost-effective and reliable shipping options available.

Wakah Logistics specializes in container shipping from Turkey to South Sudan, providing seamless end-to-end solutions that cover cargo pickup in Turkey, ocean freight, customs clearance, and final delivery to Juba and other parts of South Sudan. Whether you’re a large importer, a construction company, a humanitarian organization, or a small business sourcing products from Turkish suppliers, Wakah Logistics ensures that your goods arrive safely, on time, and within budget.

Why Choose Sea Freight from Turkey to South Sudan

Sea freight is the preferred choice for large-volume shipments between Turkey and South Sudan for several reasons. The first is cost efficiency. Compared to air freight, shipping by sea allows you to move more cargo at a fraction of the cost, making it ideal for heavy goods such as construction materials, machinery, and bulk consumer products.

Another advantage is capacity. Container shipping from Turkey to South Sudan offers flexibility for different shipment sizes, from full container loads (FCL) to less than container loads (LCL), allowing businesses to select the best option for their needs. Sea transport is also more suitable for special cargo types, such as refrigerated goods, oversized machinery, or project cargo.

Sea Shipping Process from Turkey to South Sudan

Shipping from Turkey to South Sudan involves multiple coordinated steps. Wakah Logistics manages the process end-to-end so you can focus on your business.

Step 1 – Cargo Collection in Turkey

We arrange pickup from your Turkish supplier’s warehouse or factory. Our network covers all major commercial hubs including Istanbul, Bursa, Ankara, and Izmir. For exporters, we can also receive goods directly at our designated consolidation points.

Step 2 – Port Handling and Consolidation

Your cargo is delivered to major Turkish ports such as Mersin, Izmir, or Istanbul. Here, goods are consolidated, packaged if necessary, and prepared for ocean shipment. We handle export documentation and compliance requirements.

Step 3 – Ocean Freight to East Africa

The sea route from Turkey typically passes through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal before reaching East African ports such as Mombasa in Kenya or Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. From here, goods are unloaded for inland transportation.

Step 4 – Inland Transport to South Sudan

After arriving at the port, containers are loaded onto trucks and transported through secure, established road networks to South Sudan. Wakah Logistics coordinates this leg to ensure timely delivery.

Step 5 – Final Delivery

We provide door-to-door services to Juba and other towns in South Sudan, with proof of delivery and full tracking updates along the way.

Container Shipping Options

Wakah Logistics offers a variety of shipping solutions to meet different cargo needs.

Full Container Load (FCL)

Ideal for large importers who need an entire container. This option offers maximum security and faster handling times.

Less than Container Load (LCL)

Perfect for smaller shipments where goods are consolidated with cargo from other clients, reducing costs without sacrificing reliability.

Special Containers

We provide reefer containers for temperature-sensitive goods, flat racks for oversized machinery, and open-top containers for tall cargo.
