Air & Sea Freight Solutions to Sudan via Port Sudan | SMT Advanced Business

SMT Advanced Business continues to provide reliable air and sea freight solutions to Sudan, even amid the ongoing operational shift from Khartoum International Airport to Port Sudan International Airport—now the country’s main hub for international cargo and passenger flights.

Current Logistics Situation in Sudan

Since the suspension of operations at Khartoum International Airport, Port Sudan has become the primary gateway for both commercial and humanitarian cargo entering Sudan. International airlines have gradually rerouted shipments to Port Sudan, and airfreight operations are running on a limited but consistent schedule. Meanwhile, Port Sudan seaport remains fully functional, handling most containerized imports and exports via major shipping lines such as Maersk, MSC, CMA-CGM, and COSCO.

Transit Times & Estimated Costs

• Air Freight (China → Port Sudan): Estimated 7–10 days transit time for consolidated air cargo.
• Sea Freight (China → Port Sudan): Transit time typically 40–45 days. A 20-foot FCL
• Inland Logistics: From Port Sudan, cargo can be moved inland through vetted Sudanese partners offering secured trucking and customs clearance services.

Challenges and Risk Factors

Despite steady port activity, Port Sudan occasionally faces congestion and intermittent disruptions due to regional instability. Airspace restrictions and heightened security screenings may add to lead times. Exporters must also ensure accurate documentation—commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin—to avoid customs delays.
