Containerized transport


SCL Rotterdam has been a true specialist in shipping cars and other vehicles in containers for many years. Unlike Ro-Ro shipping, cars can be shipped in a container to and from almost any port in the world, with various options available. Your exact needs usually depend on the type of vehicle you want to ship: a damaged vehicle needs to be shipped as economically as possible, but for an expensive new car, different priorities often apply. Whatever your needs, we have a container shipping package that suits you. And, of course, always at competitive rates.

Economy Class

Economy Class is the most budget-friendly shipping method. In this case, we ship your car based on consolidation, which means your car is shipped in one container along with other vehicles. We wait until the container is full before setting sail.

Business Class

Choosing Business Class? Then we transport your car with a maximum of two other vehicles in a container. We guarantee that your car stands directly and firmly on the floor. This makes it the ideal option for fragile cars or a lowered body.

Special Class

The most premium shipping method is Special Class. In this case, you get an exclusive container for your car, allowing it to go on the first available transport. If sea freight isn't fast enough, air freight is also an option.

Not sure what the best option is for shipping your car? No problem. Based on our experience, we will be happy to advise you. With clear advice, we help you make the right choice.

Is your car being shipped by another container carrier, and are you only looking for a company to unload your car from the container upon arrival? Feel free to contact us!
