What Our Clients are Saying

UK Shipping & Port Coverage

We arrange vehicle and cargo shipments through major UK departure ports, depending on the destination, shipping method and current sailing schedules.

UK departure options can include Southampton, Tilbury, London Gateway, Felixstowe, Immingham, Teesport, Liverpool, Sheerness and other UK ports where suitable services are available.

The most suitable departure port depends on the destination, carrier, vehicle type and sailing schedule, so we recommend checking the current options when requesting a quotation.

Which Shipping Method Is Right for My Vehicle?

The best shipping method depends on the type and condition of your vehicle, the destination, your budget and whether you need enclosed or shared transport.

RoRo shipping is often the most economical option for standard running vehicles that meet the carrier’s requirements.

Container shipping can be preferable for high-value, classic, modified or non-running vehicles, or when you also need to ship personal effects or other cargo.

Shared-container shipping can be useful when you do not require a full container and want to share available container space with other shipments.

If you are unsure which option is suitable, Ascope Shipping can explain the available methods for your vehicle and destination before you book.
