Redcoat has been providing regular high quality sailing services to all of our clients. All containers are secured and marked for ease of identification on arrival, with Redcoat staff overseeing both the loading and un-loading processes.

HAZARDOUS GOODS
Most items can be shipped by sea freight. Some hazardous goods may require special containers, please check with our team if you have any goods of hazardous nature.
The minimal information we will need is:
Unfortunately we cannot and do not guarantee delivery dates.
You can call us to arrange a collection in the UK or, you can fill out our online quotation form.
Our collections are "All day" meaning we cannot provide a time slot.
Rules for our Driver collections:
Rules for Third-party collections:
Yes we can, within a small radius. Please call us for more information and for a delivery quote.
Payment does not have to be made at the time, but the balance MUST be received in full before the Original Bill of Lading may be released to the Consignee. So it is in your interests to ensure that we do receive it in good time.
Storage charges will begin to add up in Banjul for any days lost awaiting the Bill of Lading
Redcoat will complete all export documentation as part of our service, including the Bill of Lading, the original of which is the document, the Consignee must present this in order to be able to claim the goods at the other end.
In addition, if you have purchased any items without paying VAT (since they are to be exported) we will undertake to present such documentation to Customs at the Port of Departure and, subsequent to confirmation of sailing, send Certificates of Shipment to your supplier(s) in accordance with your instructions.
Yes, you can, but only in Pounds Sterling. We would need to know this at the outset so that our office can contact the Consignee and verify that they will indeed accept our charges. We will then be notified here that the Consignee accepts and the shipment loaded. A copy of the Bill of Lading will be sent to you for reference purposes.
It takes around 3-6 weeks to arrive to Banjul.
It takes around 5-7 weeks to arrive to Freetown
If you have a large quantity of goods, redcoat can arrange for you to have sole use of a 20ft or 40ft container. Your goods do not have to be separately marked, packaged and labelled AND once cleared by Banjul Customs, may be trucked to the point of unloading, avoiding the contents having to be handled again and stored at the port.
We offer 2 methods:
1. We can arrange for a container to come to our facility here, immediately prior to the sailing of your choice and either receive deliveries from you and/or your supplier(s) in the days leading up to loading, load it for you and complete the export documentation etc
2. We can arrange for the container to come to a loading point of your choosing for you to load - again, we will prepare all the necessary documentation.
Please contact us if you would like to book a whole container. We will need the following information:
Yes we do in both UK and Banjul, you can drop both air and sea freight goods.
UK - drop off point in Pekham
Banjul - drop off point at Kairaba Avenue
Please see our Contact Us page for more information.
Yes, you can ship. You will need to sign a disclaimer form that states we accept no responsibly for any damage that may be caused. It is send at the senders own risk.
We provide a service to board up the screen side of the TV, however this still does not 100% guarantee protection, and we are still not reliable for any damage.
Charges apply for the board service.
We currently do not sell insurance cover ourselves but we can put you in contact with a company who offer Marine Insurance Cover – they will charge you direct for this service.
We ship at least once a month.
