Steps for International Vehicle Shipping
Shipping a vehicle internationally involves several crucial steps to guarantee its safe and timely arrival. Here’s an overview of the process:

Loading Procedures for Different Vehicles
Cars: Our 20′ Full Container Load (FCL) is perfect for a single car with extra space for additional items. For multiple cars, our 40′ containers are ideal:
- Two Cars: Both cars are positioned side by side on the ground level.
- Three Cars: A specialized frame lifts one car, allowing two others to fit below.
- Four Cars: It's possible, though not ideal, to fit four smaller cars into a 40′ container with meticulous stacking and bracing to ensure safety.
Our expert team meticulously blocks and braces each car, securing them to prevent movement and potential damage during transit.
Boats: Shipping boats requires specialized preparation and handling:
- Frame Construction: A custom frame can be built to hold the boat securely within the container.
- Boat Rotation: Certain boats can be rotated to fit more efficiently.
- Trailer Shipping: Boats can be transported on their trailers, which are then secured within the container to prevent movement.
Motorcycles and ATVs: Smaller vehicles such as motorcycles and ATVs are either directly braced inside the container or placed in custom crates for added protection:
- Bracing: Vehicles are directly secured to the container's walls and floor using straps and blocks.
- Crating: A custom crate is constructed around the vehicle for extra protection against external forces.
