Shipping and Logistics – Best Rates 2026

Shipping and logistics from Ibrahim Logistics: Planning the full supply chain – from the supplier abroad to your warehouse shelf in Pakistan.

Shipping moves the cargo between countries; logistics makes sure it arrives at the right place, at the right time and at the right cost. For manufacturers and traders we plan the whole chain: when to order, which port to use, where to clear, how to move containers inland and where to store stock.

Shipping and logistics – FAQs

Is it cheaper to clear at Karachi or at a dry port?

It depends on your location and cargo. Dry port clearance often saves transport and time for factories in Punjab and KP; we compare both for you.

Do you work on contract rates?

Yes, for regular shippers we agree monthly or seasonal rates.

Can you handle both imports and exports?

Yes, many clients use the same containers for import and export to save on empty moves.
