Le Havre → Cotonou
Vehicle export to Cotonou
Cotonou Autonomous Port is Benin's main port and one of the most-used entry points for vehicles imported into West Africa.
Its reach extends well beyond Benin: the port also serves the Nigerien and Burkinabè hinterland, making it a regular destination for grouped shipments.
Shipping a vehicle to Cotonou
Two shipping modes are available to Cotonou Autonomous Port. The RoRo vessel suits a roadworthy vehicle shipped on its own; the container protects the vehicle and allows personal effects or goods to be loaded around it.
We handle picking up the vehicle in Europe, the export customs formalities and loading in Le Havre. Import customs clearance is the responsibility of the recipient or their local freight forwarder.
- RoRo vessel (roll-on/roll-off) — the most direct and economical mode
- Container — full protection and extra cargo capacity
