When people search for shipping lines to Sierra Leone, they often think of carriers like Grimaldi, MSC, Maersk, and CMA CGM. These companies operate vessels from the USA to Freetown, the main port of Sierra Leone.
➡️ 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.
