Ro/ro information UK to South Africa

Hi all, after scouring this site and finding little information on prices for this route, thought I would post the quote for a 4x4 I just received back from Wilhelmsen. Comes in at under £1200 from Sheerness, and we can keep luggage in the vehicle from this port, though from Southampton the vehicle must be empty... be warned though that we were told there is a history of theft of personal items should anything be left in the vehicle as we have to surrender our keys on ro/ro. We are still waiting for an estimate of costs once it arrives at Durban, though to date this company has responded promptly to emails and seems very helpful. Hope this is helpful to someone,
Mark and Allison

Good Morning Mark,

Please see below a couple of options and rates for you.

We can offer ro/ro services from both Sheerness and Southampton - details as follows:-


Ex Sheerness, Kent - Monthly sailings
Transit time approx 23 days port/port

Freight port/port - USD $ 1450.00 lump sum

UK terminals and B/Lading fee - Pds Stlg £ 100.00

or

Ex Southampton - Fortnightly sailings

Freight port/port - USD 1550.00 lump sum

You will not be disappointed with Wilhelmsen, my 2 nephews each to a MR2 back from UK to SA.
Loaded at Southampton to Port Elizabeth.
I think they paid a few pound under a grand each.

The service was prompt, no delays.

I got a quote from them a year ago and it was just under a grand for a 80 series Land Cruiser to PE or Durban. No difference in price.

Container to Cape Town was GBP1 200.

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.
