When people search for shipping lines to Botswana, they often think of carriers like Grimaldi, MSC, Maersk, and CMA CGM. These companies operate vessels from the USA to South African ports such as Durban or Cape Town, with onward transport to Botswana via road.
➡️ Individuals cannot book directly with these shipping lines.
➡️ Even if they could, they would pay tariff rates — which are higher than the discounted contract rates secured by All TransportDepot.
Thanks to our volume contracts, All TransportDepot offers competitive pricing that beats standard tariffs.
