A practical route for exporting cars from Antwerp

Antwerp is one of Europe’s established gateways for vehicle exports. IMS Shipping coordinates the sea-freight stage with the practical steps around it: confirming a suitable sailing, explaining terminal delivery requirements and checking the shipment information needed for booking.

RoRo is often the most direct option for an operational car that can be driven aboard the vessel. Container shipping may be considered when the car needs enclosed transport, travels with approved additional cargo or forms part of a consolidated shipment. The appropriate method depends on the vehicle, destination and current carrier rules.

Preparing a car for export

Provide the make, model, year, dimensions and vehicle identification details.

Confirm that the car starts, steers and brakes, or tell us if special handling is required.

Remove unapproved personal goods and check current fuel and battery requirements.

Share the intended destination and cargo-ready date so we can check suitable sailings.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ship a used car from Antwerp?

Yes. IMS coordinates exports of new and used cars, subject to carrier acceptance and the import rules at the destination. Share the vehicle details and destination for a shipment-specific check.

Is RoRo or a container better for a car?

RoRo is commonly used for operational vehicles that can be driven aboard. A container can provide an enclosed alternative. Availability, destination, vehicle condition and carrier rules determine the practical choice.
