Understanding the numbers

  • ✅ 40'HQ container: standard high-cube box, used for most car shipping
  • ✅ Per-vehicle: ≈ 40'HQ / 3 (typical loadout of 3 sedans / 2–3 SUVs)
  • ✅ Per-heavy: for construction equipment, special-purpose vehicles (≈ full 40'HQ per unit)
  • ✅ Transit time: ocean transit only — does not include port clearance (typically 3-7 days both sides)
  • ⚠ Rates fluctuate weekly — confirm exact quote with your freight forwarder before booking
  • ⚠ RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) is a separate option, often cheaper for high-volume passenger vehicles. Not all destinations have RoRo service. Ask your forwarder.
  • ⚠ Marine insurance (0.4% of CIF) is additional — bundle through your freight forwarder
