shipping SA to Africa to India to SEA?
 
we are on a Ford e150 from US down in SA - South America

what options can you advise to ship from South America from anyplace (I assume Buenos Aires is best) to Africa (I presume South Africa is best) so we could drive it up to Kenya (I presume is best) and ship it to India and onto

what is the best / cheapest port to port Africa to India?

India to South East Asia (Thailand I presume)?

thank you so much really appreciate your help

Rough data ...
 
Not looking cheap.

There is a nice map of main sea route half way down this page
Transshipment hubs: connecting global and regional maritime shipping networks | PortEconomics

From South Africa you'd go north to Morocco, change ship to go south to South Africa. (For an additional cost you could off load in Morocco and travel about a bit there? Before going south...)

From Africa to India .. back to South Africa for cheapest shipment. And possibly Sir Lanka would be a cheapest off load port .. then ferry across?

India to SEA .. Thailand is messy at the moment with that required guide thing.. ? Vietnam?

A table of the top 50 sea ports .. to give you more data and more choices doh ..

wow great info thank you so much

just some notes - often times it will look like geographically by distance it should make all the sense ...

but politically and for various other reasons it's not the case

like due to politics on can not drive through Maymar/Burma

this way one could drive from India to Thailand ...

and I know Sri Lanka and India are at odds so I am not sure if there is a RoRo Roll On/Roll Off ferry for cars. ...


please any one with any info ...

perhaps of some one who did it / parts of it - would be best info for us ...

thank you ...
