SGL Services

Logistics Services

End-to-end freight solutions for mining, manufacturing, and regional trade — from the mine face to the factory gate.

01

Coal
Transportation

SGL's dedicated coal logistics operation connects Maamba Coal Mine to industrial consumers across Zambia. Our heavy-haul fleet is optimised for bulk logistics, where the primary focus is minimising cost per ton-km over high-frequency, dedicated routes.

As Zambia's energy sector grows, coal remains a core energy input for manufacturing and power generation. Our mine-to-plant logistics capability gives energy-intensive industries a reliable, cost-effective supply chain.

Import
Logistics

SGL serves as the backbone for Zambia's manufacturing sector by facilitating the haulage of industrial raw materials and equipment from regional ports. We operate on key cross-border corridors linking Zambia to Dar es Salaam, Walvis Bay, Beira, and Durban.

Our cross-border expertise covers customs coordination, compliance with SADC regulations, and end-to-end freight management from port to factory — so manufacturers can focus on production, not logistics.

Export &
Distribution

Our outbound logistics service transports finished goods from Zambian manufacturers to local and neighbouring markets across SADC. By intelligently managing backload opportunities on return trips, SGL creates a balanced freight flow that reduces empty kilometres and lowers cost for clients.

This "balanced flow" model is central to SGL's operational efficiency — reducing the cost of outbound freight while maximising fleet utilisation across all corridors.
