Project Details

WorldLink Supply Chain managed the time-critical air freight of essential medical equipment from Dubai to Kigali. With strict temperature requirements and tight customs deadlines, we arranged priority cargo handling and coordinated end-to-end customs clearance to ensure safe, on-time delivery.

The project required real-time coordination across two international airports and seamless integration with local ground transportation to the final delivery point.

Project Challenges

• Delivery required within 48 hours of dispatch
• Temperature-sensitive medical equipment
• Multi-country customs compliance required
• High-value cargo requiring dedicated security

Solutions Provided

• Priority cargo booking on dedicated airline
• Full customs clearance and documentation
• Real-time GPS tracking throughout transit
• Temperature-controlled packaging and monitoring

Results

We managed a large-scale ocean freight shipment of consumer goods from China to Rwanda via the Port of Mombasa. The project involved 20 FCL containers, coordinated port handling, and onward road freight to Kigali — all within a tight commercial timeline.

Project Highlights

• 20 FCL containers shipped from Shanghai
• 21-day ocean transit to Mombasa
• Full port clearance and inland transport arranged
• Complete import customs brokerage in Rwanda

We provided cross-border road transport for a major FMCG distributor, moving goods from the port of Mombasa through Uganda to distribution centers across Rwanda. Our fleet of certified trucks and experienced drivers ensured product quality and on-time delivery throughout the corridor.

Project Metrics

• 3 country cross-border corridor managed
• 12 trucks dispatched over 4 weeks
• 99.5% on-time delivery rate achieved
• Real-time GPS tracking on all vehicles

We coordinated rail freight for bulk construction materials from the Port of Mombasa to Nairobi via the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). This eco-friendly solution reduced carbon emissions by 35% compared to equivalent road transport, while maintaining reliable delivery schedules for a time-sensitive construction project.

We set up and managed a fully operational 3PL warehousing solution in Kigali's Special Economic Zone for a growing e-commerce company. The facility features climate-controlled storage, automated pick-and-pack systems, and real-time inventory management — enabling same-day dispatch for online orders across Rwanda.

WorldLink Supply Chain redesigned and optimised the end-to-end supply chain for a regional manufacturer, covering procurement, warehousing, and multimodal distribution across five East and Central African markets. The new supply chain model reduced total logistics costs by 22% and improved average delivery times by 30%.
