Car shipping in container

Container Shipping Service (20ft & 40ft)

Shipping your vehicle or personal goods in containers is the most secure option, especially to destinations like Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Malta, and Cyprus. Containers ensure that only you or your agent can access the cargo at delivery.

We recommend container shipping when transporting high-value cars or goods. Your vehicle is protected from weather and handling damage throughout the journey. Major ports we operate from include Southampton, Sheerness, Grimsby, Hull, Felixstowe, Tilbury, and Liverpool.

RORO car shipping


Roll-On Roll-Off (RORO) Shipping

RORO shipping is a cost-effective method for exporting cars, trucks, buses, and personal goods from the UK. Vehicles are driven onto the vessel and secured below deck, making it ideal for operational units.

Fastlane operates regular RORO shipments from Sheerness, Tilbury, Southampton, and Felixstowe to Kenya, Tanzania, Cyprus, Malta, and South Africa. If you’re shipping a truck or oversized vehicle, we’ll request measurements to calculate an accurate quote.
