Moving East

Forward

A Bold
Idea
In 2022

Shioways was born from a simple observation: East African trade deserved better logistics. Too many importers and exporters were losing time and money navigating a fragmented, opaque system with no single trusted partner.

Founded in 2022 and headquartered at Salamander Tower, Samora Street, Dar es Salaam, we set out to change that. We built a team of licensed customs agents, freight specialists, and trade compliance experts — all under one roof.

Today, Shioways is a full-spectrum clearing and forwarding company that handles everything from the moment goods are ready to ship to final delivery at the door. We move cargo by air, sea, and land — efficiently, reliably, and transparently.
