Auto shipping and loading
To avoid any damages to the vehicles while in transit, we follow a meticulous procedure. The autos are first driven into the container after which the four wheels are blocked and braced with wooden blocks. A steel chain is secured to anchor points/brackets underneath the car at opposite corners. The other end is then hooked to the welded points of the container to pull the vehicle down and keep it immobile. In conformance to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, the batteries are disconnected and fuel level kept to a minimum.

IMPORTANT TIP: It is crucial to the engine's protection that the coolant / anti-freeze is sufficient as changes in atmospheric temperature is inevitable at sea. This needs to be taken care of before the vehicle is delivered to us.


Required documents
It is required by US Customs that original certificate of title be presented prior to the exportation of any vehicle. It will eventually be released to the consignee together with the vehicle upon arrival at destination. Certain Port Authorities overseas demand a Bill of Sale as well. A passport or social security number is also required for identification purposes.


Cargo inside vehicles
We do not charge for cargo already loaded inside the vehicle at the time of delivery. However, they will not be insured for loss or damage. We also request that hazardous materials be strictly excluded (ie: corrosive or flammable items).


Loose packages
We also accept shipments of automobile parts. Loose cargo are to be clearly labeled on the outermost packaging with the customer's name* and destination. For security purposes, we reserve the right to reject deliveries that are not labeled accordingly.

*Customer is the person/s who made the shipping arrangements with us and is not necessarily the ultimate buyer of the goods.
