Oveseas Car Shipping to Finland

K International Transport is pleased to offer a variety of overseas car shipping services to Finland, but most of our traffic are Roll On / Roll Off shipments of vehicles into the port of Kotka, Finland. Many companies will offer international shipping services to Finland, but K International Transport will work with you from start to finish to make sure that our international shipping service meets your international shipping needs.

The first step when you want to ship your car to Kotka is to figure out how to ship your car to Finland from the USA. This means examining the international car shipping options for shipping your car to Finland. Some of the ways to transport your car to Finland are:

  • Roll On / Roll Off Shipping
  • Container Shipping
  • Air Freight
All of these ways have their own unique advantages. Airfreight is the fastest and most secure, but also the most expensive option by far. Container shipping is the second most secure, and the second most expensive, but far less than airfreight. Container service is available out of and into more ports, and also offers more service options in terms of transit time. Roll On / Roll Off is also very secure, and is the way most people and car manufacturers ship cars all over the world. Instead of being loaded, blocked, and braced into a standard shipping container, your vehicle will be driven onto a specialized vessel for shipping self-propelled units, and parked under deck. A RoRo vessel is akin to a floating garage.

Another feature that that may make you prefer to use a RoRo vessel for overseas shipping to Kotka, Finland is that it is much easier to pick up your vehicle from the port of discharge. If you shipped inside a container, you will need to find a company that can truck the container off the pier, unload the container completely, and return the empty shipping container pack to the port, these charges can add up, and make RoRo the option of many who want the best balance between cost and security in international auto shipping.

Another reason to find a reliable overseas shipping company in Finland is they only local agents in Finland can advise and handle import customs for cars, as well as local port fees in Kotka. This shipping company in Finland. Inland transportation to your door in Finland is also usually handled by the company that aids you with import customs clearance.

Imagine Driving On These Roads...Some of the World's Most Beautiful (and Craziest) Roads and How International Car Shipping Can Get You There!

When you ship Corvette's, Mustangs, Jaguar's and Bentley's overseas from the US on a regular basis, you start to wonder where these cars end up...what roads will they see in their new overseas home.  Just to "tickle our fancy" we decided to come up with a list of some of the world's most amazing roads, and imagine our overseas customers driving their cars on these roads....


1). Col de Turini, France

Located in the French Alps, the Col de Turini is one of the most spectacular passes in France. Infamous for its yearly Monte Carlo Rally, the road is a favorite for car driving enthusiasts.  We have shipped plenty of classic Ford Mustangs to France, and we can see these car owners braving the tight turns of the Col de Turini.  If you are interested in experiencing the Col de Turini, we can ship a car from the USA to the ports of Le Havre or Marseille.
The Col de Turini is a spectacular mountain pass in the French Alps, imagine driving your Ford Mustang or Chevy Corvette on this road!

2). Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway

Our next spectacular road lands us in Scandinavia, in what could be the classic car collecting capital of the world - Norway.  The Atlantic Ocean Road runs across a archipelago in the Norwegian Sea.  Imagine driving a classic Oldsmobile on this beautiful span of road in Norway.  Overseas car shipping to Norway from the USA is available to the port of Drammen, Kristiansand and Oslo.

Ship a car to Norway from the USA and take a drive over the bridges and islands on the Atlantic Ocean Road.

3). Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road, United Arab Emirates

The UAE is known for its flashy cars and desert climate, and it should come as no surprise that one of its most well-known roads combines the two.  The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road rises through the mountain of Jebel Hafeet, a city located in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.  The road is considered one of the best driving roads in the world and is the perfect place to drive a shiny new Range Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser or BMW shipped to the port of Jebel Ali from the United States. 

Rising above the mountains of Jebel Hafeet, this road is the perfect place to get a worldly view of the UAE.  Ship a car to the port of Jebel Ali and head straight to this mountain!

4). North Yungas Road, Bolivia

If you make it through this next road alive, you are among one of the few.  Known as the "Road of Death" the North Yungas Road connects the Amazon region of Bolivia with its capital city La Paz.  What makes this road so dangerous is a combination of the following: no rail guards, tropical climate, narrow width, steep hilltops and muddy roads.  Each year thousands of thrill seekers venture to the 40 mile stretch of road and brave the twist, turns and sudden drops. Although you have a 50/50 chance of making it out alive, it is still one of the most spectacular and beautiful roads in the world.  We hope any cars we shipped to Bolivia from the US haven't met their demise on this road.

The Yungas Road in Bolivia offers a breathtaking view of the scenery of the Bolivia mountainside, and it is also considered the deadliest road in the world.

5). Stelvio Pass, Italy

We head back to the Alps for the next spectacular road overseas, but this time we visit the country of Italy.  The road is the the highest paved mountain pass in the eastern Alps and was crowned one of the greatest driving roads in the world.  We can ship cars to several Italian ports including the ports of Genoa, Civitavecchia, Livorno, Salerno, Trieste, Venezia and Palermo from the USA at some of the best car shipping rates available on the market.



The road may look windy, but the scenery is beautiful on the Stelvio Pass in Italy


6). Irohazaka Slope, Japan

We take our adventure in seeking some of the world's most beautiful roads to the mountains of the Far East.  The Irohazaka road in Japan originally had 48 hair rising turns and each turn corresponds with a letter in the Japanese alphabet.  The road is located in the mountains of the Tochigi prefecture.  If you're brave enough to drive this winding road, there is plenty of international car shipping service from the USA to the port of Yokohama, Japan.


The twists and turns on the Irohazaka might make you dizzy, but the experience of driving on one of the world's most beautiful roads is well worth it.

7). Dades Gorge Road, Morocco

The Dades Gorge Road is located in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.  The Atlas Mountains stretch over three countries in North Africa: Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.  The Dades Gorge is located on the Dades River and is a popular tourist destination due to its vast natural beauty. It also makes for one incredible driving experience!  We offer some of the most affordable international car shipping to the port of Casablanca, Morocco from the east coast of the United States.


Experience the mountains of Morocco on the Dades Gorge Road. 


Whether your thrill seeking adventure takes you to the mountainside of Japan, the treacherous Amazonian pass of Bolivia or through the alps of Switzerland and Italy, driving your car on any one of the world's most beautiful roads is definitely something you should add to your bucket list!  When looking to ship a car to France, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Japan or Morocco from the United States - turn to K International Transport for some of the best car shipping rates!  For more information on our overseas car shipping service to France, Norway, UAE, Italy, Japan or Morocco, give us a call at 212-267-6400, reach us on Skype at kinternationalny or send an email to sales@kinternational.com.  We will provide you with car shipping quotes within 1-2 business days and always try to provide you with the best international car shipping prices on the market.

The Options you have for shipping cars overseas by ocean


K International Transport is an experienced Freight Forwarder and NVOCC (Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier), so if you are looking for an international shipping company for cars that is able to guide you through shipping cars internationally then you have found it. There are two ways to ship your vehicle abroad by ocean transport:

  1. Containerized Shipping
  2. Roll On / Roll Off Shipping
In order to decide between these two methods of shipping vehicles overseas, you should take the following into consideration:
  • How many cars am I shipping?
    • If you are shipping multiple cars we may be able to fit 2 or more of them into a 40'HC shipping container, which may translate into savings on your international shipping price.
  • Where do I want to send my cargo?
    • Roll On / Roll Off vessels do not serve as many ports as container vessels, so if you have a specific port in mind, ask us for the service options there. The extra money it costs to ship by container may be dwarfed by the costs of getting your vehicle from the nearest Roll On / Roll Off port to your final destination. 
  • How large is the vehicle I am shipping?
    • Roll On / Roll Off cargo is priced by the total cubic meters of a shipment (or, in the case that tonnage exceeds cubic meters, by the amount of short tons). If your vehicle is nearly as large as a 20' shipping container (dimensions of shipping containers), it may actually be more economical to ship it inside a container. This mostly applies to trucks (lorries) and wheeled construction equipment.
  • Do I need to send personal effects with my vehicle?
    • If you ship a car overseas on a Roll On / Roll Off vessel, every steamship line requires that no personal effects are left in the vehicle, and will reject the car if personal effects are present. So if you are moving or for some other reason have extra things to ship with the vehicle, you will have to send them separately, or put them together in a container.
Both shipping methods are secure, but a container will be sealed by the warehouse and not opened (unless given an intensive inspection by customs) until claimed at the port of discharge.

Another consideration for container shipping is the cost to unload the vehicle and return the empty container at the port of discharge, which are generally not included in our quotations, because the charges would be in the local currency and would have to be paid directly to the terminal/port.

Whichever way you choose to ship your car, motorcycle, truck or bus abroad, K International is glad to advise you and arrange the shipment for you. Please visit our rate request page, email us (inquiries@kinternational.com) or give us a call at (212) 267-6400.

Shipping a car to Le Havre, France? Let K International Transport arrange it for you!


Exporting your vehicle from the United States to France can be a headache, but using a Federal Maritime Commission licensed international transport company for cars will make the process much easier. Shipping a car internationally begins with an international car shipping quote for transporting your vehicle to a port in the country of destination (e.g. shipping an Audi A4 to Le Havre, France) once you tell us what vehicle you want to export from the United States and where it will start its trip we can get to work on an overseas car shipping quote for you. 


K International Transport can transport the Audi A4 you've purchased online from the seller's door in the United States to the port of your choosing in Europe. Base ports are the ones most commonly serviced by Roll on / Roll off vessels and include: Antwerp, Belgium; Le Havre, France; Bremerhaven, Germany; and Southampton, United Kingdom.  


K International Transport is a licensed Freight Forwarder and NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier), and acts as the architect of your shipment. We also routinely handle United States export customs clearance for cars. K International Transport will bring to you a rate quotation for shipping your Audi A4 to Le Havre, France, other locations in Europe, or any other port around the world. If our international car shipping quote is to your liking we will guide you through the shipment of your vehicle from its location of origin up to port of discharge, and can even give recommendations for agents at the final destination. If you have concerns about our terms, conditions, or the rate itself, we appreciate feedback and are glad to answer any questions. If you have target rates in mind, providing these can help us negotiate with the carrier for better freight rates.

How do I ship cars like the Infiniti JX to the Middle East and other places around the world?



Many people looking to ship cars to the Middle East come to K International Transport to get rate quotations for international car shipping. Collectors located in the Middle East who purchase classic cars in the United States have them shipped to places like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai, Iraq, Lebanon, and Egypt, while others want something more modern, and ask us how to ship an Infiniti JX from the United States to the Middle East with minimal hassle.
The 2013 Infiiniti JX will perform as well in the Middle East as it does in North America!


Overseas car shipping by container is the more secure option, but is less economical than overseas car shipping via Roll On / Roll Off service, which is very secure in its own right. Roll On / Roll Off vessels are specially designed for transporting cars and trucks overseas; cars are driven onto the ship and stowed under deck, and thus protected from the elements. On the other hand, more ports are serviced by container ships than Ro/Ro vessels, so your shipment method will depend on your destination. For example, Le Havre is the port for Roll On / Roll Off service, but container vessels service other ports like Marseilles, Paris, and Fos-sur-Mer.


K International Transport has been in the business of shipping cars overseas for over 20 years and we would be pleased to give you the best price quote for shipping cars internationally. Please visit our rate request page and fill out our form, give us a call at (212) 267-6400, or send us an email at inquiries@kinternational.com. Alternatively, you can skype us at kinternationalny.

When should I use a Flat Rack container? What is the size of a Flat Rack container?

If you are shipping cargo that has a height that exceeds the height or width of a normal container (Out of Gauge cargo), or cargo that cannot be loaded through the door of a standard container one of the options for international container shipping are Flat Racks. Flat racks are also often used for items that are too heavy for other shipping containers.


The efficiency that characterizes international ocean freight would not be possible without the progression of containerization of cargo. Vessels can be loaded with stacks of containers quickly, maximizing the carrying capacity of the vessels. This also makes it much less difficult to load and unload the vessel at ports by using cranes, and since the containers are inter-modal, they can be loaded onto a truck or train car for inland transportation. Flat racks have a high loading capacity, and are equipped with lashing rings on the side rails.


There are a few different types of containers. The important dimensions for Flat Rack containers are as follows:
20' Flat Rack
Inside Length18' 6''5.63 m
Inside Width7' 3''2.20 m
Inside Height7' 4''2.23 m

Tare Weight6, 061 lbs2, 749 kgs
Maximum Cargo61, 117* lbs27, 722* kgs
40' Open Top
Inside Length39' 7''12.06 m
Inside Width6' 10''2.08 m
Inside Height6' 5''1.95 m



Tare Weight12, 787 lbs5, 800 kgs
Maximum Cargo85, 800* lbs38, 918* kgs


*Legal weight and weight maximum for steamship line may be lower than this number, payload weight must be distributed evenly over floor to safely reach maximum

There are a few other types of containers (e.g. refrigerated, Platform, Open Top), but the above covers the dimensions of Flat Rack containers.

Hopefully the above gives you some idea of when you should use a flat rack container. Please visit our rate request page or send us an email: inquiries@kinternational.com

Is it Safe to Ship an Expensive Car Overseas on a Roll-On / Roll-Off (Ro/Ro) Ship?

When looking for overseas car shipping service you have three options: shipping by container, shipping on a roll-on / roll-off (ro/ro) ship or shipping by air.  The most affordable option to ship your car internationally is using ro/ro service.  However, the misconception is that shipping an expensive car using ro/ro service is not safe.  Today we will help debunk the rumors on international ro/ro car shipping service.

Rumor #1: International Ro/Ro Shipping is Only for Inexpensive Cars

Did you know that ro/ro vessels not only carry cars but they also carry heavy duty trucks, construction equipment, and other heavy machinery.  Most of these items are worth in excess of tens of thousands of dollars.  Therefore, if it is safe to ship a $125,000 Caterpillar excavator on a ro/ro vessel, it is safe to ship a $125,000 Maserati.

Automobiles aren't the only type of cargo loaded on ro/ro vessels.  Ro/Ro vessels can also accommodate trucks, buses, construction equipment and over-sized heavy machinery.


Rumor #2: I Heard if I Ship my Car on a Ro/Ro Vessel it Sits on Top of the Vessel and it is Exposed to the Elements and Can Easily Fall Off


The ro./ro vessel has come a long way since the introduction of car ferries in the 1800's.  Although some car ferries around the world are still open-air, most first-class international ro/ro steamship lines have specialized enclosed ro/ro vessels.  Today's international car and truck ro/ro carriers are nicer than your garage.  The vessels are climate controlled and your cargo is protected from the elements.  Cars are driven into the belly of the ship and safely secured.  This is how the world's car manufacturer's ship their brand new vehicles around the world, on ro/ro ships.  


Most people think of car ferries when they think of shipping their Lamborghini on a ro/ro vessel.  This is NOT what a typical first-class ro/ro vessel looks like.
Cars loaded on a ro/ro vessel are inside the ship, protected from the elements and safely secured.  You can safely ship your expensive Bentley, Maserati, Mercedes, BMW or Lamborghini overseas from the USA on a ro/ro vessel.


 Rumor #3: Shipping my Expensive Car in a Container is Safer Because there is No Risk of Damage

While shipping your car overseas in a container is a safe option, and an option several customers prefer, it does not guarantee your car will arrive without a scratch.  Our professional warehouses specialize in loading vehicles inside containers, however what happens on the other side of the ocean is another story.  One of biggest issues customers who ship their car internationally in a container face is finding a reliable warehouse overseas who can safely unload their vehicle.  Inexperienced warehouses in another country may damage your vehicle during the unloading process if they have no clue what they're doing.  Typical damage includes scratches along the side of the vehicle, damaging windows, and blowing out tires during the unloading process.  If you prefer to ship your car abroad from the USA in a container, you should make sure you employ an experienced professional in the arrival country in order to avoid the risk of damage to your vehicle.


Do you have more questions about the safety and reliability of shipping your car overseas using roll-on / roll-off (ro/ro) international shipping services?  Contact our office at 212-267-6400, on skype at kinternationalny or by email at inquiries@kinternational.com for more information.  We can also provide international car shipping quotes for ro/ro service from the USA to almost any destination in the world.

How do I ship a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL from the United States to Brussels, Belgium?

One of the most coveted classic cars of all time, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL remains in high demand all over the world. Known for its many distinctive qualities, perhaps most of all its gullwing door design, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is a particularly desired item for many of Europe's car collectors. The first step for adding this item to your collection is locating a seller. The second, is getting the car from the seller to your garage, which is where a trusted international car shipping company like K International Transport comes in. K International is ready to help you ship a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL from the United States to Belgium.




A Silver Mercedes-Benz 300SL shined to perfection.




The first leg of the car's journey will be from the seller's location in the United States to the warehouse where the car will be loaded, blocked, and braced into a 20'std container. For a car like the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, this should only be done in an enclosed carrier. If you receive multiple quotations for shipping a Mercedes-Benz 300SL from the United States to Belgium (Zeebrugge, Antwerp, etc.), and some do not specify that inland transportation in the United States uses a closed car carrier, then chances are they just gave you a quote for a run-of-the-mill open car carrier, which just isn't good enough for something like the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL.


After that, the vehicle must be loaded, blocked, and braced into a 20'std container at a licensed warehouse. Here is another place where other international car shipping companies cut corners. Other companies will consolidate your vehicle with 2 or 3 others in a 40' container, in order to save on their costs, but putting your collector's item at risk in more ways than one. First, no matter how skilled the warehouse, packing a container with multiple vehicles entails greater risk than just loading one. Second, once the container reaches Belgium,  if any of the cars in the container run into customs issues, the entire container will be placed on hold. Next, K International only employs first-class steamship lines for ocean transport, because we know reliability is key. Of course, with such a car you may even want to ship your car by Airfreight, which we can offer with white-glove service!


Showing off the iconic gullwing doors!


If you have any questions about shipping a Mercedes-Benz 300SL from the United States to Zeebrugge, Amsterdam, or Brussels Belgium, please contact us. You can send an email to inquiries@kinternational.com, call us: (212) 267-6400, or fill out our online rate request form. We hope to hear from you soon!

Ship a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Middle East


Luxury cars are a very popular United States Export, so we are always ready to help ship a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, or other ports in the Middle East. Using an international transport company like K International Transport to arrange container shipment of your Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe from the United States to Jeddah, Dammam, or other places in the Middles East is a safe way to get your vehicle delivered internationally. Finding a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe on eBay or from a seller directly can get you a low price for a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe


Author: S 400 HYBRID

If you need a more economical way to ship cars, Roll On / Roll Off service to Jeddah and Dammam would be your answer. Though a little less secure, shipping a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe on a Roll On / Roll Off vessel reduces ocean freight cost, and obviates the need to arrange blocking and bracing of the vehicle in a container.


We can also offer international shipping Marine Insurance, to reduce some of the risk always involved when shipping internationally. We can offer either Total Loss / F.P.A marine insurance of All Risk marine insurance, depending on your desired level of coverage.


If you want to request an international car shipping rate quote, please send an email to inquiries@kinternational.com, call us at (212) 267-6400 or go to our online rate request form. You can also reach us on skype: kinternationalny
