Things to bear in mind when shipping vehicles TO New Zealand:

  • We can organise your shipment without delay.
  • Our shipping routes to New Zealand are mostly direct. The transit time varies depending on the country of departure and the service you have chosen:

Roll-on-roll-off (RORO) service

We offer RORO services from key Australian ports, including Port Kembla (Sydney), Melbourne, and Brisbane, with discharge ports in New Zealand, such as Lyttelton, Auckland, Nelson, and Wellington. This ensures a broad range of options for shipping vehicles between Australia and New Zealand.

For those shipping from the UK, we provide RORO services departing from Southampton, with vehicles arriving in Auckland.

Our international RORO service is ideal for customers seeking a reliable, fast, and cost-efficient way to ship their vehicles across borders.

Container service

Our container shipping service offers a reliable and secure way to transport goods between Australia, the UK, and New Zealand. From Australia, we operate out of the major ports in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Fremantle, ensuring flexible and convenient departures. These ships discharge at the key New Zealand ports, including Auckland, Tauranga, and Lyttelton, making the service ideal for businesses and individuals looking for efficient cross-border logistics.

For those shipping from the UK, we provide services departing from both Southampton and Felixstowe. This service also reaches the major New Zealand ports, ensuring your cargo is safely delivered to Auckland, Tauranga, or Lyttelton. Our container service is designed to handle various types of goods, offering the benefits of full or shared container options to suit your specific needs.

Things to bear in mind when shipping vehicles FROM New Zealand:

  • Start planning as soon as possible. Vehicle shipping can be a lengthy process, especially when dealing with international regulations, customs clearance, and shipping schedules. Early planning ensures you can meet all deadlines without stress.
  • Our shipping routes are mostly direct. The transit time varies depending on the destination and the service you have chosen:

Roll-on-roll-off (RORO) service

Top tips for shipping from New Zealand or to New Zealand:

  • Ensure Proper Documentation: Have all required documents, such as proof of ownership, vehicle inspection reports, and customs paperwork, ready to avoid delays in the shipping process.
  • Choose the Right Shipping Method: Depending on your budget and timeline, decide between Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO) or container shipping. RORO is cost-effective for operational vehicles, while containers offer more protection for non-operational or valuable vehicles.
  • Understand Import/Export Regulations: Make sure you are familiar with New Zealand’s import/export laws, including taxes and vehicle inspection requirements, to ensure compliance.
