Why ship a car to Mozambique from the UK
Ship Cars RoRo is a specialist UK vehicle export company moving cars, SUVs, classics, motorbikes and light commercials to Mozambique every month. From Tema and Apapa in the west to Mombasa and Dar es Salaam in the east and Durban in the south, African ports operate on dense weekly RORO rotations supported by shared 40ft container groupage. Typical clients on this lane include returning diaspora customers, alongside private owners relocating to Mozambique and returning residents importing a personal vehicle. Our UK-to-Mozambique corridor is engineered around predictable transit, transparent pricing and full compliance with Mozambique customs.
Vehicles depart from Bristol (Portbury), Felixstowe, Southampton and arrive at Maputo, Beira via West African RORO rotation calling Antwerp and Dakar. Typical door-to-port turnaround is 24–32 days to maputo from southampton, supported by marine all-risks insurance, GPS-tracked UK collection and bonded warehousing where required.
