Why ship a car to Singapore from the UK
Ship Cars RoRo is a specialist UK vehicle export company moving cars, SUVs, classics, motorbikes and light commercials to Singapore every month. Routing into Asia typically tranships through Singapore or Port Klang, with sealed 40ft containers used for everything except a handful of RORO-served deepwater ports. Carnet de Passage, Euro 4–6 emission proofs and chassis verification are the recurring compliance themes. Typical clients on this lane include Carnet-holding overlanders, alongside private owners relocating to Singapore and returning residents importing a personal vehicle. Our UK-to-Singapore corridor is engineered around predictable transit, transparent pricing and full compliance with Singapore customs.
Vehicles depart from Bristol (Portbury), Felixstowe, Southampton and arrive at Singapore (Pasir Panjang) via direct Far East rotation via Colombo and Singapore. Typical door-to-port turnaround is 25–32 days to singapore from southampton, supported by marine all-risks insurance, GPS-tracked UK collection and bonded warehousing where required.
