Question Shipping from Dilli to Darwin
HI,

Has anybody recent information about shipping from Dilli (Timor) to Darwin (Australia)? I am actually on Java and need to plan shipping my bike to Australia.

A fellow-biker told me a couple of months ago that Toll Perkins is replaced by another company and this new company doesn't do consolidated freight. It means you have to fill up a container yourself. I can't find any confirmation of this storey.

Thanks for your information and, as always: stay safe on the road.

Mart Heijnens

Hi Mart,

I am trying to organise the same trip in the opposite direction at the moment.

You are correct, Perkins has been bought out by ANL - ANL : Global carrier offering worldwide shipping services.

ANL themselves are only interested in doing full container loads, but they referred me onto their logistics division - I spoke to Shirley who seemed helpful (PM me for her Australian mobile number).

They can ship a bike as "LCL", meaning you share the container and only pay for your cubic weight. They do want the bike crated.

I am awaiting an email with their quote and more details, once I have the email address of the correct department I'll post it here for all.

Don't forget as well you'll need to spend a *LOT* of time cleaning the bike in Dili before crating it - the Australian Quarantine Service is very very demanding, not a single speck of dirt or blade of grass allowed.

Well they are prompt on their emails, at least.

Indicative cost is $300AUD per cubic metre - and likely to be more expensive next year. So for a 2m x 1m x 1.5m crate it's pushing $1000AUD already!

The suggested contact at ANL Logistics is:

Chris Lodewyke (National Procurement and Operations Manager)
lodewyke@anllogistics.com.au
(inside australia) 1800 265 564


From that estimated cost I will be investigating other freight forwarding companies, and maybe air cargo.

Let me know how you go!

I do not think there is air cargo option available from Dili to Darwin. Reason is that the planes are too small so that you could fit bike in.

Maybe they have bigger planes now than 1,5 years ago when I crossed this area.

Thumbs up All in?
Hi, PathlessRiden (nice nickname!),

The price you mentioned, 300 AUS per cubic meter, is that an all in price? Including custom and handling fees, cost of documents and all things buraucrats love so much? If so, the price is not that ridiculous. I shipped quite a few times, know exactly the size of the crate i need. I calculated as follows. Crate seize: 206×94×117 cm = 2.265 cub.meter. Costs: 2.265 × 300 = 680 AUS = 465 EURO. Not that bad if it's all in. However, I would appreciate it if you would post the results of your investigations to other companies. Have you thought about shipping to Bali?

Thanks for your reply,

Mart

Hi! April this year we shipped two motorbikes from Darwin to Dili with Toll
Although quite expensive (400 AUD/bike) it all went really smoothly.
That said, there was a big delay (3wks on a sceduled 4days) but for us that ment being in east-timor longer which I highly recommend! Do not be tempted to skip the second newest country in the world! The lack of infrastructure and wealth is compensated easily by the beautifull cheer of the Timorese!
Back on topic: You should contact Toll, and I can emag ine arranging transport from the DiliDili side requires a little more hands and feet...
I'll put a description of the shipment in the database come to think of it!
don't hesitate to send a PM aswell if you need some more cheering on easttimor, ehrm I mean usefull shipping info

We shipped 2 bikes smoothly from Darwin to Dili in October, as did others. There are teething issues but all went well. ANL just does paperwork. The bikes do not have to be Crated. PJ Customs handles them in Darwin as they always have. TOLL handles them in Dili.
Costs are no different. Just try to keep height down. But your own tie downs.
Contact Sandy Shen at ANL logistics.she will send you shipping dates. The bikes left when they were supposed to.

Shipping Darwin - Dili
Hi David,
I shipped my bike from Darwin to Dili in November, I went directly through Toll Global who ship in conjunction with ANL but also manage the depot in Dili, which makes it nice and easy. They charged per cubic meter and didn't require the bike to be crated, they use PJ's customs to pack the container, they did a great job, I did provide them with my own tie downs and the bike arrived in perfect condition. One thing I found was that the quote and end price may vary significantly and also a friend shipped a month earlier and paid quite a bit less. Good luck, Timor Leste has some amazing riding.

feel free to message for more info or check out the shipping page on my Blog

Shipping info from Lenor Castulo Toll/ANL
Hi all,

I had send a request for information to mr. Lodwyke of ANL. I got a fast response from mr. Lenor Castulo. The information I got, see below.

Is it possible to ship a motorbike as LCL? I mean in a container together with other freight?

- Yes, can ship a motorbike as LCL.

What are the costs, approximately, of shipping a motorbike by ANL from Dili to Darwin? Does it include harbour handling, custom fees, document costs?

- if you have CARNET, here are the costs

1 Unit Motorbike EXP DILI-DARWIN (min. of 3CBM)

Ocean Freight************************** USD110.00 per CBM

BAF (Fuel Surcharge)*************** USD 20.00 per CBM

East Timor Tax************************* 2.64% of the Freight

Documentation Fee****************** USD 30.00 per B/L

Port Security Charge**************** USD 40.00 per CBM

Stuffing / THC************************** USD 50.00 per shpt.


Has the motorbike to be crated?

- Can ship the motorbike even not crated.


How long will it take, approximately, from delivering the motorbike in Dili harbour to picking up in Darwin harbour?

- From Dili to Darwin, approximately 15 days.* (Route is DIL-SIN-DAR)

My estimate on timing would be closer to a month going by past experience and ANL has not mentioned in your quote the charges from Customs and Quarantine, Patricks and PJ's Customs here in Darwin.

A friend and I did Dili to Darwin in July 2014. The ship was rerouted through Singapore, which changed the travel time from about 3 days to about 3 weeks.

We had a whole container to ourselves for two bikes, and we loaded them up and tied them down ourselves.

When we got the initial quote, there was a 4cbm minimum (which it doesn't sound like there is for going Darwin-Dili), which was well over what a bike would be, so we figured that we could probably get both bikes in that 4cbm minimum. But to our surprise, since our bikes were not registered under the same name, we had to have two shipments, rather than bundling them together, which cost us quite a bit more than we were expecting. All in all, I think it cost about $800 for each bike.

Oh, and the shipping was done with TOLL, so I'm not sure what might have changed since the ANL involvement.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
