CargoMaster’s Air Freight Solutions for African Islands – Enjoy Time and Cost Savings!

Embark on a journey to the captivating African islands, effortlessly connected by CargoMaster’s top-notch air freight services. These enchanting islands are nestled between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, offering a diverse and mesmerising experience. Delve into the Indian Ocean, home to prominent sovereign island nations like Comoros, Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar, elegantly gracing the southeastern seaboard. Nearby, you’ll discover the enchanting French territories of Mayotte and Réunion, adding to the allure. Explore the coastal beauty of Tanzania’s Zanzibar and Kenya’s Lamu, alongside smaller islands that adorn the continental coasts.

On the majestic Atlantic seaboard, marvel at the awe-inspiring Cape Verde off West Africa and Sao Tome and Principe off the southwestern seaboard. Noteworthy Equatorial Guinea islands, including Bioko and other smaller gems in the Atlantic Ocean, further enrich this mesmerising island tapestry. The Mediterranean Sea of the north Atlantic embraces Spanish territories such as the illustrious Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, and the Plazas de Soberani, while the southwestern seaboard is graced by the British possessions of Saint Helena, Ascension Island, and Tristan da Cunha. With Madagascar standing proudly as the fourth-largest island globally, spanning 587,041 square kilometers, the diverse landscape of these islands promises a remarkable journey with volcanic origins, lofty structures, low coral elevation, and occasional tropical cyclones.

Unlock the unparalleled history and charm of the Indian Ocean islands, home to four sovereign nations: Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, and Seychelles. For centuries, these countries have shared intertwined stories and populations, shaped by the legacy of Southeast Asian exploration, Arab trade, and the Bantu migrations, ultimately leading to European colonisation. As part of the Indian Ocean Commission, these islands, alongside the French territories of Réunion and Mayotte, form a closely-knit membership.

In the Indian Ocean regions of the Atlantic Ocean, both Spain and France exert their authority over several African territories, while Italy, the United Kingdom, and Portugal also take pride in ownership of smaller islands in the Atlantic. Spain’s historic control of the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, and the Plazas de soberania traces back to the Reconquista, even as Morocco challenges their possession. Amidst the isles, the French Îles Éparses remain subjects of dispute, contested by Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, and others.

Cost Of Air Freight

Understanding Volumetric Weight Calculation for Air Freight
In air freight, charges are based on the actual weight of the goods or the volumetric weight, whichever is greater. This means that even if a ton of feathers weighs the same as a ton of bricks, the feathers would occupy more space in the cargo hold and be charged based on their volumetric weight. Calculating the volumetric weight of your shipment is simple:

Volumetric Weight Formula: Length x Width x Height x 200
By applying the above formula, you can determine the volumetric weight of your cargo. The charges will be calculated based on whichever weight is greater—either the volumetric weight or the actual weight of the goods.

Preparing Air Freight

Ensuring Smooth and Secure Air Freight with CargoMaster
Properly preparing your air freight before submitting it for transportation is vital to guarantee a seamless and secure journey with CargoMaster. To facilitate efficient handling and protect your cargo from damage, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the type of products you are shipping. Keep the following guidelines in mind to achieve optimal efficiency and maintain the integrity of your air cargo:

Understanding Air Freight Hazards

• Avoid inadequate packaging that may result in shifting and punctures.
• Insufficient packaging leaves your cargo vulnerable to punctures and other forms of damage.
• Protect your contents from compression forces generated during stacking, shocks, vibrations, or tie-down procedures.
• Proper packaging must withstand drops and impacts encountered during handling operations.

Recommended Packaging Materials for Air Freight Shipments

• Corrugated Fiberboard Boxes
• Utilise robust boxes to prevent compression near the edges.
• Take into account the potential strength degradation over time, particularly in high-humidity environments.
• Consider using single-use packages, as they may not be durable enough for multiple trips.

Wood Packaging for Air Freight

• Enhance strength by incorporating interlocking corners and diagonal braces.
• Avoid placing fasteners in the end grain of wood to maintain resistance.
• Restrict knots to a maximum of 30% of the surface area and refrain from positioning fasteners within knots.

Air Freight Pallets

• Select pallets that can accommodate shipments without overhang.
• Avoid using damaged pallets or those with protruding fasteners.
• Ensure that pallets possess a sufficient floor-bearing load capacity.

By adhering to these guidelines and employing proper cushioning techniques, you can ensure the safety and security of your international shipments when utilising CargoMaster’s air freight services.
