Full and part container loads through Radès and Tunisia's other ports, with the booking, documents and customs handled by one team.
Overview
Most of Tunisia's trade moves by sea, through Radès and the ports of Sfax, Sousse and Bizerte. ATLS books containers with the major shipping lines and takes care of the paperwork on both sides, so your goods are not held at the port waiting for a missing document.
For regular volumes, our space agreements with the carriers help keep your bookings confirmed in peak season. For smaller shipments, we consolidate your cargo with other customers' goods so you only pay for the space you use.
