Ship Construction Equipment and Cars to Cotonou, Benin


Situated between Lake Nokoue and the Atlantic Ocean, Cotonou is both a major port in the region and the largest city in Benin. Cotonou has extensive transportation connections to other major cities in the region, including the Benin-Niger railway that connects the port of Benin to Parakou, which is the largest city in eastern Benin. As a major deep-water port trucks, cars, industrial machinery, and construction equipment arrive at the port of Benin every day for use in the city of Cotonou itself and in surrounding areas. International shipping services to Cotonou can be confusing, but K International has the necessary acumen to guide your cargo to its destination.

Ancien Pont Bridge
Port Cotonou is one of the largest in West Africa, and therefore serves as a transportation hub for those looking to ship their cargo to Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Mali.

While K International Transport helps many of our customers ship cars to Cotonou, Benin from the United States, there is also a growing interest in shipping construction equipment from the United States to Benin. The key to affordable international shipping service to West Africa from the United States including Cotonou, Benin is finding the right international shipping company.  K International Transport is glad to help you ship Kobelco excavators, CAT Wheel Loaders, Mack Trucks, and JLG Lifts to Cotonou and other ports in West Africa. The most convenient way to ship this type of equipment is Ship on what is called a roll-on / roll-off vessel. These vessels are equipped with built-in ramps that allow vehicles and even heavy equipment to be driven or towed onto the ship. Once inside, the cargo is secured under-deck. K International Transport is able to offer fast and economical Roll On / Roll Off service to Benin from the U.S. ports of New York, Baltimore, Savannah and Jacksonville. 

The other way to ship construction equipment to Cotonou, Benin is dismantling, loading and shipping inside a container. Shipping inside a container can save money, but it isn't for everyone. If shipping a dismantled unit inside a shipping container, one should make sure to have skilled mechanics at the port in Cotonou that can unload the container carefully and reassemble the unit. In some cases reassembly and/or unloading can require use of a crane.
