 Shipment of Motor Vehicles

AGS Four Winds has the professional knowledge and experience to safely ship your motor vehicle anywhere in the world, provided that the customs laws of the destination country permit the importation of vehicles.

Dependent on the routing between the points of origin and destination, vehicles can be dispatched either by air, sea or road.

Via sea, vehicles are either shipped in steel shipping containers or ‘loose shipped’ aboard ‘Ro-Ro’ vessels, (Roll on–Roll off). With the ‘Ro-Ro’ service, vehicles are driven onto and off the vessel at the relevant Ports of Departure and Arrival. Transportation between the client’s residence and the port is arranged with the assistance of a road car carrier or may be driven by the client himself or herself.

As few of the many shipping routes are supported by ‘Ro-Ro’ vessels, it is more common for vehicles to be shipped in containers. In this instance, the vehicle is driven into the container and secured to the floor. To ensure maximum utilisation of space, a solid wooden crate (cradle) is built over the vehicle, to allow for loading of household and personal effects.

As regulations surrounding the importation of motor vehicles differ vastly from country to country, it is imperative to consult with AGS Four Winds prior to deciding to ship your vehicle.
