Division 02 / Logistics
Things that arrive.
Crest Logistics moves cargo, construction materials and project equipment from origin markets in Dubai, China and beyond to sites across East Africa. We plan the route, hold the documentation, manage the carriers and stay on the movement until it is closed out.

- Coverage
- Global origin markets / East Africa

- One movement register, one lead

What we move.
The division handles the whole movement, not a single leg. That means the ticket, the truck, the border, the warehouse and the proof of delivery sit under one plan.
Origin sourcing and consolidation
Supplier coordination, quality checks and consolidated shipments from Dubai, China and other markets.
Freight forwarding and customs
Sea, air and road freight, documentation and clearance into Rwanda.
Project cargo and heavy lift
Abnormal loads, route surveys, permits, escorts and site reception.
Construction materials supply
Cement, steel, finishes, fittings and specialist materials, scheduled to site.
Equipment sourcing and mobilisation
Plant, tools and specialist equipment moved from origin to site.
Warehousing and distribution
Bonded and open storage, inventory control, pick-and-pack and regional replenishment.
Last-mile and site delivery
Delivery windows, offloading and proof of receipt tied to the construction programme.
Supplier and site coordination
Order tracking, call-off schedules and one material register across the programme.
Operating model
Plan. Move. Prove.
A movement is a sequence of handovers. We design the sequence, hold the documentation and stay on the load until the receiver has signed for it.
- 01
Origin and demand plan
What moves, where it is bought and when. We consolidate in Dubai or China, check the goods and book the route against site readiness.
- 02
Route and mode
Sea, air, road or a combination. Carrier selection, transit plan, permits and contingency built into the schedule.
- 03
Clearance
Documentation, customs, border timing and escort requirements, closed before the load reaches the border.
- 04
Delivery and proof
Site reception, proof of delivery, exception log and a cost reconciliation. The movement is not finished until the paper is.
One corridor. One register.
We source and consolidate in Dubai, China and other origin markets, move through the East African corridor and receive at site. The same desk that books the freight can clear the border and receive the load at site.

- One control room
- Every consignment sits on one register, with a named owner, a live status and a delivery window tied to site readiness.
- Cargo care
- Handling standards, driver checks, vehicle standards and an incident response plan are part of the quote, not an extra.
- Visible cost
- The movement is costed before it starts and reconciled after it closes. No surprise line items at the end of the month.
