Zambia is one of Africa’s largest copper producers, with strong demand for mining equipment, machinery, vehicles and spare parts. Qube Cargo ships to Lusaka, Ndola, Kitwe, the Copperbelt and across Zambia by sea through Durban, Dar es Salaam or Walvis Bay, with onward road delivery.
For urgent parts and high-value goods, we arrange air freight into Lusaka. We choose the best port and road corridor for each shipment and handle the transit paperwork.
