50,000 MT cement to East Africa under L/C
How Egypt Globe Group shipped 50,000 MT of CEM I 42.5N to a Tanzanian importer over Q3 2025 — Damietta loading, Mombasa discharge, full L/C documentation…
A long-established Tanzanian construction-materials importer needed
50,000 MT of CEM I 42.5N over Q3 2025, delivered CIF Mombasa, paid by
sight L/C from a regional African bank. The customer's previous supplier
had missed three consecutive shipments — they wanted a partner who
could deliver on schedule and present clean L/C documents on the first
attempt.
- Volume scale — 5 vessel parcels of ~10,000 MT each, sequenced
monthly through Q3
- Document precision — bank required exact match across Proforma,
Commercial Invoice, Packing List, B/L, and Egyptian Chamber of
Commerce-stamped Certificate of Origin
- Quality consistency — buyer needed every batch to hit Blaine ≥
3500 cm²/g and 28-day compressive ≥ 42.5 MPa
- Lead time — first vessel had to sail within 3 weeks of LC opening
- Sourcing — committed three Egyptian cement plants in parallel for
redundancy: lead supplier in Beni Suef + backups in Suez and Aswan
- Loading port — Damietta picked over Alexandria for the lower
inland trucking distance from the Beni Suef plant
- Per-batch QC — our Damietta operations team hosted SGS PSI on
every parcel; CoAs filed within 48 hours of vessel sailing
- L/C documentation — Cairo office prepared the bank pack 7 days
before each B/L, with a dry-run review against the LC text to catch
document discrepancies before issue
discrepancies
"Three years of supplier rotations and Egypt Globe is the only one whose first shipment matched the LC text. We're extending to calendar-year 2026 with quarterly volumes."
