CFR Freight SA (PTY) Ltd

CFR Freight SA (PTY) Ltd is a South Africa-based freight forwarder established in April 1991. Originating as a strictly neutral NVOCC, the company has grown from a one-man operation to a substantial organization employing over 100 staff across multiple coastal and inland locations, including Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. The business focuses on providing consolidated freight services for both sea and air shipments, and has developed direct services on a range of import and export routes to meet customer needs. In 2001, CFR Freight expanded its capabilities with the introduction of an airfreight division, operating as a wholesaler to the C&F industry and enabling CFR to offer integrated sea and air consolidations under a single banner. Throughout its history, CFR Freight has positioned itself as a leading operator in Southern Africa, leveraging its expanding network and service offerings to support clients in moving cargo efficiently across global trade lanes. The company emphasizes its neutral NVOCC status and commitment to developing new direct services that complement its consolidations, aiming to deliver reliable and cost-effective freight solutions for its customers.

CFR Freight continues to service customers by coordinating shipments from and to all parts of the world, applying industry best practices in documentation, routing, and consolidation management. The organization’s footprint across major South African ports allows it to serve a diverse client base, ranging from small import/export flows to larger, more complex logistics requirements, while maintaining focus on efficiency and compliance in both sea and air operations.
