Europe to Namibia
 

Hi guys, I am new here at this forum and am... an intruder, as I don't travel by bike but by Land Rover 109 Series III.

I know you guys are tolerant, so I decided to write nonetheless...:cool4:

Do you have any addresses of shipping companies that do the transport of a vehicle from Europe (best: Italy) to Namibia? I am starting organizing a trip down there for August 08, so there's plenty of time.

I shipped my Land Rover to Mauritania in December, so if anyone wnats infos on that I can be very specific.

Regards and thanks a lot, Paolo

Shipping info
 

It'd be brilliant if you could give us some info on prices and efforts required to ship your vehicle to Mauritania,
Cheers!!

Can't help with shipping company, but once you get your container in Walvis Bay, Namibia and you need an agent to release it from port, I can recommend this small and friendly company:

Coastal Imports and Exports
Walvis Bay
Namibia
E-mail: cie (at) namibnet.com
Tel: 09264-64-204619

thank you very much for the hint in Walvis Bay! What experience did you have with them?

Experience with Coastal Imports & Exports was good (seem they only have 3 people working there, so it was quite "personal"). I shipped my car from Namibia to Europe.

Contrary, the big agent where Maersk sent me promised to give me quote but never got back to me (they said they can't give quote prompty but for "tomorrow" and promised to contact me but that never happened). The same with another big name agent in the port.

I found Coastal Imports & Exports by accident, just saw a small office and thought I'll go and ask them about shipping...

Check out MACS shipping (From UK). We are doing this exact trip in July 07. We had thought about Walvis Bay but Cape Town is much cheaper
