Container shipping to Ghana is one of our busiest routes, and it shows in how smoothly we run it.
Families relocating, traders sending stock, or anyone posting a few boxes home, we treat every shipment with the same level of care.
Containers give your belongings the strongest protection available for sea travel. Popular choices among our Ghana customers include:
A 20ft or 40ft container can hold an entire household if you’re relocating for good. Shipping a vehicle at the same time? We can load a car alongside your belongings, or visit our car shipping to Ghana page if a vehicle is your only cargo.
Nobody likes surprise charges, so here is our honest, upfront guide to 2026 pricing:
| Service | Typical Cost (from) |
|---|---|
| LCL / shared container (part load) | from £700 |
| 20ft container (FCL) | from £1,500 |
| 40ft container (FCL) | from £2,500 |
Your final price will depend on how much you’re sending, which port you’re using, and the time of year. Reach out for a precise, tailored quote, no guesswork involved.
Both methods get your goods to Ghana safely, the difference comes down to speed, cost, and space.
A sealed container, all to yourself, from the moment it leaves your door to the moment it arrives in Ghana. Nobody else’s cargo, no waiting to be grouped with other shipments. This is the route most families choose when relocating an entire home, or businesses moving a large order.
Sharing space keeps costs down, which suits smaller loads perfectly. Your goods travel alongside other customers’ shipments in the same container, so you only pay for the room you actually need.
Not sure which suits your shipment? Our FCL vs LCL guide breaks down the differences, and our groupage shipping page has more on how shared containers work.
We run regular sailings into two Ghanaian ports:
From either port, we organise the onward journey right to your door, so your shipment doesn’t stop at customs, it goes all the way home.
Here’s roughly how long your shipment will take, depending on the port and method:
| Route | FCL (sole-use) | LCL (shared) |
|---|---|---|
| UK to Tema | 3 – 4 weeks | 5 – 7 weeks |
| UK to Takoradi | 3 – 5 weeks | 6 – 8 weeks |
Sole-use containers travel faster since they sail the moment they’re sealed. Shared containers wait slightly longer while other cargo is loaded. Once your container lands, allow a little extra time for it to clear Ghanaian customs.
Customs paperwork trips up more container shipping to Ghana shipments than almost anything else, so here’s what matters most:
Our team files the paperwork, works directly with customs agents on the ground in Ghana, and flags anything you need to sort out before your goods even leave the UK. Curious about duties in general? Our customs duties advice page has more.
