Mogadishu - East Africa Shipping Company (EASC) operates as the official CMA-CGM agent for Somalia, providing a bridge between Somali businesses and global freight networks. Established in 2014, the company has positioned itself as a key logistics partner within the Somali market, focusing on reliable container shipping services and a local presence that supports international trade.
From its Mogadishu office, EASC offers weekly services designed to connect customers to CMA-CGM’s global ocean fleet. This direct access to a world-leading container shipping network enables customers to plan shipments with greater predictability and timeliness, whether the cargo is standard, refrigerated, or oversized. The company highlights its capability to handle reefer cargo, including perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, and meat, leveraging refrigerated containers to meet the specific temperature-controlled requirements of these commodities. This emphasis on reefer transportation helps Somali exporters reach markets across continents while maintaining product quality throughout transit.
In addition to maritime connectivity, East Africa Shipping Company operates within an inland framework that provides an intermodal network to destinations across Somalia. This inland capability supports end-to-end logistics by coordinating pickup from production sites and delivering shipments through a cohesive supply chain to final destinations. The combination of maritime strength and inland reach positions EASC as a comprehensive logistics partner for customers seeking to streamline international trade processes.
The company’s positioning as CMA-CGM’s agent underscores a strategic alignment with a globally recognized carrier, enabling EASC to offer customers a direct line to a broad and mature network of ports, schedules, and container solutions. By leveraging the strength of CMA-CGM alongside local expertise, EASC aims to facilitate trade and improve connectivity for Somali businesses seeking access to new markets.
East Africa Shipping Company also emphasizes its local-market focus, aiming to connect Somali enterprises with important global markets while delivering dependable service, timely shipments, and practical logistics solutions. Through its combination of global carrier access and local operational capabilities, EASC seeks to address the unique challenges of shipping in Somalia, including timelines, cargo variety, and the need for reliable handling of refrigerated goods. While customers can expect standard container movements, the company specifically highlights the ability to support reefer consignments, which adds value for exporters in the region.
As the Somali freight landscape evolves, EASC presents itself as a conduit for international trade by aligning with CMA-CGM’s extensive network and by maintaining a local footprint that can coordinate with inland destinations. The company’s approach reflects a concentration on core freight services—container shipping, reefer transport, weekly sailings, and end-to-end intermodal options—designed to optimize supply chains and facilitate market access for Somali businesses. With administrative support provided by NABUKO GENERAL TRADING FZE, EASC also demonstrates a collaborative structure that leverages regional partnerships to enhance service delivery and operational resilience.
