How It Works — Columbus to Ghana

Columbus is inland, so there is no local seaport — your barrels and heavy goods are consolidated and trucked to our Atlanta hub for ocean export, which keeps per-barrel rates low. Urgent electronics and documents can fly air out of John Glenn Columbus International instead. We help you choose and arrange pickup or drop-off across the metro.

Columbus Shipping FAQ

Columbus has no seaport — how does ocean freight work from here?

Because central Ohio is landlocked, your barrels are consolidated and moved overland to our Atlanta hub, where they load for ocean export to Tema Port. This shared-consolidation model is why inland cities like Columbus still get the $250-per-barrel ocean rate rather than a premium.

Which parts of the Columbus metro do you cover?

We coordinate Ghana-bound shipments across Franklin County and the surrounding suburbs — including Reynoldsburg, Westerville, Gahanna, Whitehall, Hilliard, Dublin, Grove City, and Groveport. Pickup can be scheduled, or you can drop off at our designated consolidation point.

Can I ship a car from Columbus to Ghana?

Yes. Vehicles from Columbus route overland to a coastal RoRo or container port and sail to Tema. Rates depend on the vehicle size and whether it ships roll-on/roll-off or inside a container — send us the make, model, and year for an exact quote.

How long does a shipment from Columbus take to reach Ghana?

Air freight lands at Kotoka International Airport in Accra in about 5–7 business days. Ocean freight takes roughly 28–35 days from the cutoff at our hub to Tema Port, after which we clear Ghana customs and your consignee collects or arranges onward delivery.
