Who We Are

Ascope Shipping Services LTD is registered in England under company number 08560381, with our headquarters at One Business Village, West Dock Street, Hull, HU3 4HH. We are proud to be a genuinely UK-based vehicle shipping agent, which means when you call us, you are speaking directly with our team, not an outsourced call centre reading from a script.

Our focus has always been clear: international vehicle shipping, cargo export, and personal effects removals, handled with the kind of care and attention that comes from real expertise. We work with cars, vans, trucks, motorbikes, caravans, and even heavy plant machinery, alongside personal household items for people relocating abroad. Whatever you need to ship, our team has almost certainly handled something similar before.

Built On Genuine Experience

What sets us apart is not a flashy marketing pitch. It is the strength of our partnerships with leading shipping lines across the UK, built up carefully over more than a decade. These relationships allow us to secure reliable vessel space, keep our rates low, competitive, and transparent, and give our customers realistic timelines they can plan around.

We operate through several of the UK’s major ports, including Liverpool, Southampton, Tilbury, Sheerness, London Gateway, Felixstowe, Immingham, Teesport, and Bristol Port. This broad port network means we can offer flexible routing options depending on your destination, your budget, and how quickly you need your shipment to move.

Our team understands the paperwork, the customs process, and the regulations that come with exporting a vehicle or cargo from the UK. That knowledge matters. One missing document or one overlooked detail can delay a shipment by weeks, and we have built our entire process around avoiding exactly that.

Exceptional Customer Service, Every Time

We genuinely believe that shipping should not feel complicated or intimidating, even though the industry itself can be. From your very first enquiry to the moment your vehicle or cargo arrives at its destination, our team is on hand to answer questions, explain the process in plain English, and keep you updated at every stage.

Our reputation speaks for itself. We currently hold over 690 reviews on Trustpilot with an average rating of 4.6 stars, alongside a 4.9 star rating on Google from customers who have used our services. These are not numbers we chase for the sake of appearances. They reflect real experiences from real customers who trusted us with something important to them, whether that was a beloved classic car, a family’s entire household of belongings, or a commercial fleet vehicle that needed to arrive on schedule.

We invite you to read through our customer reviews yourself. Hearing directly from people who have shipped with us tells you far more about our service than anything we could write here.

A Streamlined, Stress Free Shipping Process

We know that shipping a vehicle or cargo abroad can feel overwhelming if you have never done it before, so we have refined our process to remove as much hassle as possible. Once your booking is confirmed and payment is received, our team takes care of everything on your behalf.

This includes organising UK customs clearance, securing your booking on the vessel, and preparing every piece of customs documentation required for a smooth export. If needed, we can safely store your vehicle at the UK port for up to three weeks before departure, giving you flexibility around your own schedule.

Step 1 – Booking Confirmed

Your booking is confirmed and we get straight to work.

Step 2 – Customs & Documentation

We organise UK customs clearance and prepare every document required.

Step 3 – Secure Storage & Transport

Your vehicle is safely stored if needed, then strapped, secured and boarded.

Step 4 – Bill Of Lading & Delivery

You receive your bill of lading and full delivery confirmation.

Every quoted price we provide includes strapping and securing your vehicle, UK customs clearance, full documentation, transport to your chosen destination, boarding the carrier vessel, and bill of lading fees. There are no hidden surprises further down the line, and you can check our shipping prices page for full transparency before you book. Once your vessel has departed the UK, your bill of lading will be sent to you within four to six working days by special delivery, so you always know exactly where things stand.
