Freight notes from
the Dubai desk.
Practical guidance on routes, containers, vehicles and paperwork, written by the people who book the shipments.

you actually move.
These guides answer the questions the Navo Shipping desk in Dubai is asked most often about moving cargo out of the UAE, written from live bookings at Jebel Ali rather than general advice.
What we write about
Written when a question
comes up twice.
No news, no announcements. Only the things customers actually ask.
These notes come out of the Dubai desk rather than a marketing calendar. When the same question turns up often enough that we are typing the same answer again, it becomes an article. That means the subjects are narrow and practical: when a full container is cheaper than shared space, what actually decides an air freight rate, why one country holds a vehicle at the port and its neighbour does not, and which documents stop a shipment at a border.
If you are looking for the rules for a specific country rather than a general explanation, the article is probably not the right place. We keep a page for every destination we ship to, covering the ports, the transit times, the import requirements and the paperwork for that country on its own terms. Browse the destinations and go straight to the one you are shipping to.
If your question is not answered anywhere here, ask it. Send us the route and the cargo and you will get a real answer from someone who books shipments, not a brochure. The good questions tend to become the next article.
