Commercial Vehicle Shipping from the UK

Commercial vehicle shipping requires specialist logistics expertise, heavy-duty loading equipment, and knowledge of international regulations for oversized and heavy cargo. Ship Cars RoRo has the infrastructure and experience to ship any commercial vehicle worldwide.

From Transit vans to articulated trucks, construction plant to agricultural machinery — we handle the full spectrum of commercial vehicle shipping via RORO, flat-rack, and breakbulk methods from UK ports to destinations globally.

Light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes typically ship by RoRo on weekly UK departures. Rigid trucks 7.5 to 26 tonnes ship by RoRo on high-and-heavy decks. Articulated tractors and trailers ship separately by RoRo or together on flat-rack containers. Buses and coaches ship by specialist high-cube RoRo or breakbulk.

Fleet operators, dealerships, plant hire companies and aid agencies use our consolidated commercial-vehicle service for predictable monthly shipments to West Africa, the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent. We handle the C88 export declaration, ATA carnet for temporary export, NOVA exit, V5C/4 DVLA notification and the bill of lading. Destination customs clearance is coordinated through our trade-licensed broker network in every major commercial port.

Non-running commercial vehicles ship by flat-rack with crane lift, or inside high-cube containers with winch loading. Specialist vehicles - ambulances, fire engines, military-spec trucks, mobile cranes - require pre-shipment compliance checks, export licences (where applicable) and destination type-approval planning, all of which we coordinate as part of the booking. Volume discounts apply for fleets of three or more vehicles.
