Logistics Capability Roster:

This is the most efficient and common method for shipping functional cars and SUVs globally.

Primary Transit Methods

  • RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off): The vehicle is driven directly onto a specialized vessel. This is the industry standard for fast, cost-effective transport to major international ports.
  • Container Shipping: Ideal for high-value vehicles or if you need to transport personal effects alongside your car within a secure 20ft or 40ft container.

The Teks Edge

We handle nationwide UK collection, comprehensive condition reports, and complete customs clearance to ensure your vehicle arrives safely and on time.

Motorcycle relocation is a specialized service at Teks Shipping. We provide tailored security measures to ensure your pride and joy arrives in showroom condition.

Primary Transit Methods

  • Crated Container Shipping (Recommended): Secured onto a bespoke timber/steel pallet and enclosed in a protective wooden crate inside a sea container.
  • Shared Container (LCL / Groupage): Safely strapped and chocked into a shared container alongside compatible cargo for cost-effective security.
  • Specialized RORO: Bikes are secured using heavy-duty stands directly to the ship's deck (ideal for Mediterranean routes).
