Invest
We put capital behind Somali trade — fleet, terminals, cold chain and the people who run them.
Mogadishu · Somalia Est. 2013
Keep Somalia moving without the guesswork.
DIFSOM Enterprise moves freight by sea, air and road across the Horn of Africa — and clears, stores and delivers it under one contract, one account manager and one tracking number.

The five pillars
Invest. Secure. Connect. Build. Transform.
The words under our eagle are not a slogan — they are the five lines of work the company is organised around, with logistics running through all of them.
Secure
Escorted corridors, sealed containers and chain-of-custody records on every consignment we carry.
Connect
Mogadishu, Bosaso and Berbera linked to the Gulf, Türkiye, China and East Africa on one booking.
Build
Warehouses, yards and access roads — the hard infrastructure that keeps freight moving inland.
Transform
Digital customs files, live tracking and open reporting, replacing paper at every handover.
Logistics & supply chain
Six divisions. One chain of custody.
Quay to door without a handover to a third party — because every handover is where a shipment goes quiet.

Who we are
Built in Mogadishu, for the way Somalia actually trades.
A Somali-owned enterprise founded in 2013, employing Somali crews, investing in Somali infrastructure — and held to the standards our international partners expect.
Our mission
Move Somali trade with certainty.
To give every Somali business — from a single trader to a national importer — freight they can plan around: honest pricing, a tracked container, a cleared file and a delivery date that holds.
Our vision
The Horn of Africa’s most trusted logistics group.
A Somalia connected to world markets by corridors we helped build — ports, warehouses and roads operated to a standard that makes international partners choose to trade here.
Our promise
One partner, from quay to door.
One contract, one account manager and one tracking number covering sea, air, road, customs and storage — so nothing is ever lost in a handover between vendors.
Core values
Six things we will not trade away.
Integrity
Published rates, itemised invoices and no cash on the side. What we quote is what you pay.
Reliability
A delivery window is a commitment. We hold 98.6% on-time and we publish the number.
Safety
Trained drivers, maintained vehicles and escorted corridors — cargo and crew both come home.
Innovation
Digital customs files, telematics and a client portal replacing the paper trail piece by piece.
Local Impact
94% Somali staff, trained in-house, with apprenticeships for young drivers and clerks.
Partnership
We win when your goods sell. Long contracts, shared forecasts, and volume pricing that reflects it.
How a shipment moves
Five steps, one reference number.
From the moment you send a packing list to the signed waybill on your desk.
-
Step 1
Request a quote
Send the packing list and incoterm. A costed rate lands within four working hours.
-
Step 2
Plan & book
We pick the mode, book the space and open a file with a single tracking reference.
-
Step 3
Clear customs
Our licensed brokers file the declaration and schedule inspection before the vessel lands.
-
Step 4
Move & track
Escorted transport with live GPS and status pushed to you at every corridor checkpoint.
-
Step 5
Deliver & report
Photo proof of delivery, signed waybill and a monthly performance report for your account.
Network & corridors
Three ports. One airport. Everywhere the road goes.
Regular sailings and departures into Mogadishu, Bosaso and Berbera, with our own trucks running the inland corridors from there.
- Jebel Ali Mogadishu 7–9 days
- Mersin Bosaso 14–18 days
- Guangzhou Berbera 26–32 days
- Nairobi Mogadishu 24–48 hrs
- Mogadishu Baidoa 1–2 days
- Mogadishu Kismayo 2–3 days
Client feedback
What the cargo owners say.
Our containers used to sit at the port for two weeks. DIFSOM files the declaration before the vessel berths and we collect within seventy-two hours. It changed how we buy.
We ship vaccines. The cold chain never broke once across eleven months, and every leg came with a temperature log we could hand to the ministry.
One invoice covering sea freight, clearance, storage and the truck to Baidoa. Before DIFSOM that was four vendors and four arguments.

Questions
The things clients ask first.
Anything else, the logistics desk answers within four working hours.
How fast is a freight quote?
Send a packing list, the incoterm and the destination and you will have a fully costed rate within four working hours — freight, clearance, duty estimate and inland delivery itemised separately.
Which ports and airports do you operate through?
Sea freight moves through Mogadishu, Bosaso and Berbera. Air cargo clears through Aden Adde International in Mogadishu, with charter capability into regional strips.
Can I track a shipment myself?
Yes. Every file gets a single reference that follows the cargo across sea, customs, warehouse and the final truck, with status pushed to you at each corridor checkpoint.
Do you handle customs clearance in-house?
We do. DIFSOM holds its own broker licences, so the declaration, duty assessment and inspection scheduling stay with the same team that moves the cargo.
Is the cargo insured?
All-risk marine and inland cover is arranged on request and shown as a separate line on the quote. Bonded storage is covered while goods sit in our warehouse.
