Because the country splits between Bioko island and the mainland, we route to the right port for the destination. Sea freight typically runs 5–8 weeks; air arrives in days. Air is £5.90/kg + £20 handling; sea from £70/bag.
How do you ship cargo to Equatorial Guinea from the UK?
Equatorial Guinea has two distinct parts, so the port matters. Malabo serves the capital on Bioko island; Bata serves the mainland (Río Muni). Sea freight to whichever port fits your destination is the economical choice for barrels, boxes and containers; air freight into Malabo International is the fast route for urgent cargo. We run LCL/groupage and FCL, collecting from any UK address, with documentation in Spanish or French to match the receiving office.

Sea cargo to Malabo or Bata generally takes 5–8 weeks port-to-port plus delivery; routings that transship through nearby West/Central African hubs can add a few days. Air freight to Malabo is typically a few working days. We quote a realistic window per shipment and destination.
