Transit times
Roughly 3 to 4 weeks to Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, 3 weeks to Durban, 4 to 5 weeks to Walvis Bay, 5 to 6 weeks to Kingston and Port of Spain, 3 weeks to Auckland, 4 weeks to Limassol. Exact days and cut-off dates are on the sailing schedule.
After payment
We deregister the car and move it to the EPZ, book the next sailing with space, and hand the car to the carrier before cut-off. If your country needs PEI, the inspection happens before loading.
Documents
Bill of lading, export certificate, deregistration certificate and invoice are couriered with a tracking number as soon as the bill of lading is issued, so you can clear on arrival and avoid demurrage.
Insurance
Marine cargo insurance covers the car from loading to discharge. Included by default for individuals, optional for tiered dealers. The premium is shown as its own line in the CIF.
