Warehousing and storage
Short- and long-term storage, inventory handling and cross-docking in Tema.
Overview
Storage sits between the port and the market. 4Jasmine Dr holds goods for clients who need somewhere to put them between arrival and sale — for a few days while a consignment is broken down, or for as long as the stock takes to move.
Goods are received against your paperwork, recorded, and released on your instruction. Where a consignment does not need to be stored at all, cross-docking moves it from the inbound vehicle to the outbound one with no time on the shelf.
Because storage, haulage and distribution are run together, goods can leave the warehouse on our own vehicles without a second company being brought in.

Short term or long term.
What changes between them is how long the goods stay, and how the space is priced.

- On the space used and the time held.
- You get

No time on the shelf.
Not every consignment needs to be stored. Cross-docking takes goods off the inbound vehicle, sorts them, and loads them straight onto the outbound ones — so a container can be broken down into deliveries the same day, without the goods ever going onto a shelf.
How this is priced.

We quote in writing. For repeat volume we agree a rate schedule so you are not renegotiating every consignment.
What we need from you.
Send these six things and the first reply can be a quote rather than a question.
Collection and delivery points
Where the goods start and where they have to end up, as precisely as you can give it.
Description of the goods
What they are, and whether they are palletised, cartoned, bagged or containerised.
Approximate weight or volume
An estimate is enough. If you are not sure, tell us what you do know and we will work from that.
Dates and timing
When the goods are ready, when they have to arrive, and whether either date can move.
Access and receiving hours
Loading bays, narrow streets, height limits, or fixed hours when the delivery point can receive.
Storage or documentation
Whether the goods need to be stored, and any port, customs or delivery paperwork involved.
Storage is agreed per consignment or under an ongoing arrangement, depending on the space, the time and the handling involved. Tell us what you need to store and for how long, and we will confirm.
Goods are received against your paperwork and recorded. They are released on your instruction — to your own collection, or onto our vehicles for delivery.
Goods taken off an inbound vehicle, sorted, and loaded straight onto outbound ones without going into storage. It suits consignments that are broken down for delivery as soon as they arrive.
Insurance of stored goods is confirmed when storage is agreed. Raise it at quotation stage and the position will be set out in writing.
