Summary (also from the previous page)

East Africa Company operated trade routes between ports in East Africa (Inhambane, Beira, Chinde, Quelimane, Mikindani, Kilwa, Pangani, and Saadani) and European ports (Naples, Marseille, Lisbon, Rotterdam, Bremen, and Hamburg) in 1894. The company transported various goods including:
  • Agricultural products (cotton, chillies, copra, sesame seeds, corn, and grain)
  • Raw materials (rubber, skins)
  • Shells (mother of pearl)
  • Ivory
Ships were permitted to:
  • Visit ports outside their regular route
  • Transport all types of cargo including dangerous goods
  • Transfer cargo to other ships before or during the journey
The firm Collarts, Hankey, Sowell & Company in Manchester was authorized to issue direct shipping documents for goods from Manchester to Portuguese East African ports via Grimsby and Hamburg. Currency conversions were established for British pounds, rupees, milreis, lira, and francs for onboard transactions.
