Shipping from Montreal to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
End-to-end container shipping from Montreal to Addis Ababa via Djibouti — cargo consolidation, vehicles and commercial freight with onward rail and road delivery.
Ethiopia is landlocked, so all sea cargo destined for Addis Ababa transits through the Port of Djibouti and moves overland via the Addis-Djibouti Railway or by road. VELOX Logistics manages the entire chain — from Montreal pickup to Djibouti port handling to inland delivery in Addis Ababa.
