Transportation steps
Before shipping your goods, we ensure that it’s properly prepared for transport. This includes:
-
Cleaning: We recommend cleaning your goods to facilitate inspection at both departure and arrival ports.
-
Removing Personal Items: All personal belongings must be removed from the goods, as these are not covered under shipping insurance.
-
Document Check: Our team will assist you in gathering all the necessary documents, such as registration and any required customs paperwork. We provide a checklist to ensure you have everything ready for a smooth process.
1. Initial preparation
We offer a variety of shipping options, each suited to different needs and budgets. Our team will help you decide which method works best for your vehicle and timeline:
-
Container Shipping: For maximum protection, your goods are placed in a secure, sealed container, safeguarding it from external elements, potential damage, and theft during transit. This is also ideal for high-value or luxury goods.
-
Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo): This method can be used for vehicles and other oversized rolling and static cargo. It involves driving the vehicle onto a specialized vessel, where it is securely fastened for the journey. RoRo is a cost-effective option and is commonly used for the transportation of vehicles.
-
Air Freight: If you need your goods to arrive quickly, air freight is the fastest method of transportation. This premium service ensures that your goods reaches the final destination within a matter of days. It’s typically reserved for high-value or time-sensitive shipments due to its higher cost.
-
Road Transport: If you’re shipping from a nearby country, road transport may be an efficient option. Your goods will be securely loaded onto a specialised truck, ensuring safe delivery across highways and roads directly to your destination.
-
Train Transport: For certain routes, rail transport may offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative. Train transport allows your goods to be safely carried across long distances by rail, typically used when shipping from a neighboring country.
