How to ship a car to Senegal

When shipping a car to Senegal you have to make sure the company shipping your vehicle is licensed and knows the rules and regulations to avoid any issues exporting your vehicle overseas. For Dakar custom you have to present your bill of lading with the original title of the vehicle, and have CTN filed before the vehicle arrives at Dakar port. Senshipping is a license freight forwarder in the U.S and also a license freight forwarder in Dakar Senegal. If you want door to door service fill our Quote Form. We ship from all U.S ports. There are three ways we can ship your vehicle to Dakar Senegal. RoRo, consolidated container and full container load depending on how many vehicles you are shipping.

RoRo Shipping

Roll-on/Roll-off is a method used to transport ambulances, heavy duty trucks, heavy construction and agriculture machinery which cannot fit in cargo shipping containers. Also, other vehicles can be shipped via RoRo if you prefer this method. The vehicles are driven onto and off of the vessel. The name Roll-on/Roll-off comes from the fact that vehicles roll-on/roll-off the ship’s ramp, as they are driven on and off the ship. Once loaded on the RoRo vessel, each vehicle is tied down securely in its designated spot until it reaches Dakar Senegal port. This shipping method is highly efficient and extremely cost-effective when compared to container shipping. It advantages include: fast transit time, reliable departure, reliable arrival dates. And, the vehicles are well protected, especially against sea waves.

SHIPPING A GROUPAGE CONTAINER TO DAKAR, SENEGAL

Less Than a Container Load / Consolidated Shipment
Consolidated shipment also known as groupage is for those customers who do not have enough goods to fill up a 20 foot or 40 foot container. With this method, several customers’ vehicles, household goods, and personal effects are loaded into a container at our warehouse.
This method of shipment is not fast because items must wait while they are consolidated into a full container before they can depart for Dakar Senegal. But the advantage of this method of shipment is that shipping costs are split among several customers. Each customer only pays for the space they use in the container.
Also, customers are allowed to put items inside their vehicles (they are responsible for the custom duties at the port of destination).

Full Container Load

The most commonly used containers to ship internationally are 20-foot and 40-foot containers. Shipping a full container load has a quick transit time because one person will book the full container and the items can be shipped immediately. However, it is a more expensive method than consolidated shipment and RoRo. Relocation companies, non-profit organizations, household goods shippers and movers prefer this method of shipment when shipping overseas. We have professional container packers who can load, brace, and strap your cars, household goods, and personal effects to sustain the rigors of ocean shipment.
