Introduction
Ethiopia’s booming economy is a beacon of opportunity for global businesses. Yet, its landlocked geography has long posed logistical challenges—until access to a major East African port transformed regional trade dynamics. Handling over 95% of Ethiopia’s imports, this international hub isn’t just a transit point—it’s a competitive advantage. At ICCS Express, we specialize in turning this logistics corridor into your strategic edge. Here’s how this shipping route simplifies supply chains—and how we ensure your cargo arrives faster, cheaper, and smarter.
