Commercial vehicles and vans prepared for RoRo export

Export support for vans, minibuses and light commercial vehicles

Vans vary widely in roof height, wheelbase, fittings and use. A compact panel van and a converted minibus may therefore require different booking information even when they travel on the same route. IMS checks the unit type and dimensions before approaching the carrier.

For operational vans, RoRo can offer a straightforward drive-on, drive-off sea leg from Antwerp. Container shipment can also be assessed where dimensions permit and enclosed transport better fits the shipment. IMS explains the port and documentation steps for the selected method.

What to check before shipping a van

Measure the full length, width and height, including roof racks, refrigeration units or other fittings.

Confirm whether the van is empty and remove loose or unapproved contents.

Describe any conversion, specialist equipment or non-standard bodywork.

Provide registration or ownership documentation and destination details for review.

Clear coordination for light commercial exports

Vehicle-type checks

Panel vans, crew vans, minibuses and converted units are assessed using their actual specifications.

Flexible shipping review

IMS can review RoRo and container possibilities instead of forcing every van into one method.

Antwerp logistics support

Access to practical storage, handling and mechanical coordination before port delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Can goods remain inside a van during RoRo shipping?

Carrier rules usually restrict or prohibit loose goods inside vehicles. Declare any intended contents before booking so IMS can confirm the current requirements or discuss another shipping method.

Can a high-roof van ship from Antwerp?

Often yes, but the exact height and other dimensions must be checked against carrier and vessel acceptance. Include all roof-mounted equipment when measuring.

Can minibuses be exported through IMS?

Yes, subject to route and carrier acceptance. Provide seating configuration, dimensions, weight, running condition and destination when requesting a quote.
