You will have to contact a few shipping companies for quotes. They need to assess the amount of cubic meters (cbm) your shipment will be, because shipping goes according to the space the goods take up on the ship or in the container. A whole container for your goods alone (either a 20 foot or a 40 foot container) will be cheaper per cbm than a shared container.

Clearance and customs also have to be added on to this quote, which will also depend on how much cargo, where it comes from and goes to etc.

If you have an idea of the cbm of your goods, you can phone in and ask. Just measure the height, length and depth of the box or chest, multiply by each other and you will get the cbm. Something 1 m x 1m x 1m = 1 cbm.------- in this case, you must know the vehicle type, if its a saloon vehicle or 4X4 vehicle.

Look in the yellow pages for a few shipping companies, freight services.

i hope this might help you in a little way..

Thank you for your contribution. what i am actually looking for is the cost of RORO shipping for a saloon car from germany, it will be very helpful if you have a contact of a shipping agent that can help.
