About Polaris
A steady point of reference for cargo moving through East Africa.
Polaris Freight & Shipping is based in Kampala and works with importers, exporters and project teams moving goods between global markets and Uganda.
“The name Polaris is a fixed reference point. That is the role we want to play for every shipment.”
The Polaris approach
What we do
Freight is a coordination problem.
A shipment is rarely a single service. Cargo has to be collected, exported, carried, cleared, stored and delivered — often by different organisations in different time zones.
Our role is to hold the threads together: choose the right route, prepare the documents, keep the milestones visible and tell you quickly when something changes. That is what the Polaris portal is built to support.
Clarity first
Plain-language quotes, realistic transit expectations and no hidden stages.
Care with details
Documents checked before departure, not after a problem appears.
One accountable team
A named coordinator follows the shipment through to delivery.
Local presence
Based in Kampala, close to the clearing and distribution network.
