Our services
Choose the service area that best matches your shipment. We will review the cargo, route, timing and requirements before confirming what can be coordinated.

Coordinate sea-freight arrangements and the related cargo movement between origin, port, destination and inland delivery points through suitable service providers.
Help businesses explore air cargo options for time-sensitive, high-value or smaller consignments, with the final service subject to carrier acceptance and cargo restrictions.
Coordinate storage, cargo staging, distribution and onward transport requirements with suitable facilities and logistics providers where available.
Coordinate operational requirements around cargo handling, terminal movements, loading and unloading, cargo collection and release processes.
Support planning for machinery, industrial equipment, construction materials, oversized cargo and other shipments that may require specialised handling or route review.

Who we support
Our coordination service can be useful for organisations that need help planning a shipment, connecting the transport steps or managing information across several service providers.
Plan inbound and outbound cargo movements, delivery points, documents and handovers.
Coordinate movement of production inputs, finished goods, stock transfers and wholesale orders.
Assess requirements for packaged produce, bulk commodities and export-bound goods.
Arrange shipment planning between suppliers, storage locations and business delivery points.
Plan equipment, machinery and project-material movements that may require special handling.
Coordinate logistics considerations for goods sourced from suppliers in other regions or countries.
How it works
A clear sequence helps us assess feasibility, identify missing information, explain costs and agree responsibilities before movement begins.
Tell us what is moving, where the cargo is located, its destination, required dates and any special handling or delivery requirements.
Provide the shipment dimensions, weight, quantity, commodity description, packaging, commercial documents and any applicable permits or handling instructions.
We review the request and identify the coordination tasks, transport modes, service-provider requirements, likely dependencies and information still needed.
Where the request can be supported, we provide the proposed scope, estimated costs, third-party charges, assumptions, exclusions and payment terms for review.
After written acceptance, required payment and necessary documents, we coordinate the agreed arrangements with the relevant service providers.
We share available status updates and help coordinate delivery confirmation or resolve communication issues. Timing depends on carriers, authorities, route conditions and other external factors.
What to prepare
The more complete the information, the easier it is to assess routing, handling, provider availability and likely costs. If you do not have every document yet, tell us what is pending.
Disclose relevant handling, temperature, security, hazardous-goods or permit requirements at the enquiry stage. Some goods or routes may be restricted or require specialist providers and approvals.
Prepare as many of these items as are available.
Costs and commitments
Logistics costs vary significantly by route, cargo, timing and provider. Abmia assesses each request individually and explains the proposed service scope and charges before confirmation.
The fee for Abmia’s agreed planning, coordination, documentation support or liaison work. The amount and payment milestones are stated in the proposal.
Carrier charges, haulage, terminal handling, warehousing, inspection, insurance and other provider costs should be itemised or explained where they can be determined.
Government duties, taxes, permits, demurrage, detention, storage caused by delays and unforeseen costs may be additional. The proposal should describe how variations are handled.
Transit estimates are not guarantees unless a written agreement expressly says otherwise. Schedules may be affected by carrier capacity, customs checks, port congestion, weather, road conditions, border procedures, incomplete documentation and other events outside the coordination provider’s control.
Frequently asked questions
Understand the scope, information requirements and practical limits before requesting a service.
It means helping organise the steps and service providers involved in moving cargo from its origin to its destination. Depending on the agreed scope, this can include route planning, transport enquiries, handover coordination, documentation checklists, warehousing and delivery updates.
We can assess requests for Nigerian, African and international routes and advise whether suitable arrangements can be coordinated. Coverage, carrier availability, border rules, cargo restrictions and service-provider capacity must be confirmed for each request.
Costs depend on cargo type, dimensions, weight, route, transport mode, urgency, handling, storage, documentation, duties and third-party provider charges. We assess the request before issuing a tailored proposal. Government charges and third-party costs should be clearly distinguished from Abmia’s service fee.
No. A quotation is based on the stated shipment details and the conditions available when it is prepared. Carrier changes, fuel or currency movements, inspections, congestion, weather, customs holds and other events can affect timing or cost. Any assumptions and exclusions should be stated in the proposal.
We can help coordinate documentation and communication with relevant customs-clearing agents and service providers where agreed. Customs decisions, duties, inspections and release approvals are determined by the relevant authorities.
Submit the details you have and tell us what is still unknown. A reliable estimate may require confirmed measurements, packing details, cargo photographs or a survey arranged by an appropriate provider.
The proposal should state the service fee, any deposits, third-party charges, payment milestones and cancellation terms. Work begins after the agreed acceptance, payment and documentation conditions are met.
No logistics provider can responsibly guarantee that every shipment will be free from delay, loss or damage. We can help clarify handling requirements, coordinate available safeguards and explain any insurance or claims process included in the agreed arrangement.
Share your origin, destination, cargo details and target delivery date. We will review your request and outline the next steps, information needed and applicable charges.
