Sedans and city cars
City cars, compacts, sedans and estates. These are the most commonly shipped vehicles to West Africa, and the ones for which the RoRo vessel is generally best suited.

Vehicle types
The vehicles we ship
We ship all types of road vehicles. The shipping mode depends on the vehicle's dimensions, weight and condition.
4x4s and SUVs
Elevated and off-road vehicles. Their height can limit the number of units per container: RoRo often remains the simplest mode, unless you want full protection.
RoRo · Container (depending on height)
Vans and light commercial vehicles
Vans, pickups and light commercial vehicles. The interior loading space must be empty for a RoRo departure; in a container, it can instead be used, subject to declaration.

Oversized vehicles
Machinery, long, tall or heavy vehicles that don't fit in a standard container. They travel by RoRo, on decks suited to their height, after their dimensions are approved by the shipping line.

Key point
Roadworthy and non-roadworthy vehicles
A roadworthy vehicle — one that starts, brakes and steers — can leave by RoRo or container, whichever you choose.
A damaged, broken-down or immobilised vehicle cannot board by RoRo: shipping lines prohibit it. It must be loaded into a container, generally by winch. Tell us the vehicle's actual condition as soon as you request a quote: it's the factor that determines the shipping mode.
What we need to know
- Make, model and year
- Approximate dimensions (length, width, height)
- Does the vehicle drive under its own power?
- Desired destination port
- Are there goods or effects to load with it?
Don't have the vehicle yet?
We search for the vehicle for you in Europe according to your criteria — make, model, year, mileage, budget — then move directly on to export. You approve the vehicle before any purchase.
