Shipping Cars to Mauritania from the UK

Auto Shipping to Mauritania from the UK

Vehicle shipping to Mauritania from the UK is the straightforward, low-cost way to move a car overseas. On a roll-on roll-off sailing the cars are driven straight up the ramp onto the vessel and pinned down to the car decks inside the ship, wind-proof, leak-proof and untouched for the whole 17 day passage to Nouakchott. Our RoRo service carries cars, 4x4s, vans, minibuses, trucks, trailers, tractors, coaches, buses, RoRo plant and agricultural machinery from the UK to Mauritania.

We run weekly shipping services from the UK to Mauritania and deliver your vehicle on time and at a cost that fits your requirements. You have two main shipping methods available: RoRo shipping and container shipping.

1) RoRo Shipping Cars to Mauritania

RoRo (roll-on roll-off) transport is the most economical and easiest way of shipping a vehicle to Mauritania. It means moving cars on huge purpose-built vessels called RoRo ships. The vehicles are locked down once they are on board and do not move during the voyage to Nouakchott.

2) Container Shipping Cars to Mauritania

Container shipping is where the car is loaded inside a shipping container and the container is then loaded onto the vessel. It costs a little more, but it offers more protection and is perfect for prestige and classic vehicles, non-runners, or shipments where you also want to send household goods, spare parts or trade stock to Mauritania.

Containerised Car Shipping to Mauritania

Inside your own box everything is under your control. All vehicles are blocked, braced, chocked and ratchet-strapped to the floor lashing rings for total safety on the sailing to Mauritania. You can also send personal belongings packed around the car, and where a car travels with a household removal we build a timber bulkhead between the vehicle and the personal effects so nothing can shift into the bodywork.

Loading is done at our own East Tilbury facility, photographed at every stage, and the container is customs sealed before it is gated in. The seal number appears on the bill of lading so your consignee in Mauritania can confirm the box has not been opened in transit.
