Some suggestions

These may or may not be of any help. I cannot vouch for any of these personally, however I know some people that have used www.Uship.com with no complaints. Below are some other sites that ship vehicles.

www.shippingauto.com
www.shipmyvehicle.com
www.shippinginternational.com
www.movermax.com
www.eindiabusiness.com
www.discount-shipping.net
www.worldexpress.com

Good luck and have a safe trip.
Charlie

Hi we shipped our Landrover 110 from India to Singapore in Feb. 2004. We shipped from Goa in a 20' container (couldn't find roro anywhere). At that stage we had never shipped before and We were thinking about Mumbai or Madras but as it turned out Goa (Marmagoa) worked out as cheap. The Shipping cost was higher but the lower port costs offset the difference. In travelling around the world we found that the smaller the port the easier it was. The shipping company we used was Hapag Lloyd and the transit took 10 days (it would be quicker from one of the main ports as our container changed ship in Colombo). As this was our first time shipping we used a customs agent, but I think it was worth it (approx. 100euro) as every thing in India can be slow and tied up with red tape. It took us 2 weeks of e-mails and phone calls just to get on to the right people when it could be done in a couple of days. I'll look up the details if your interested. Shipping into Singapore is efficient but complicated Penang,Malaysia, might be a better option.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
