Two ways to ship 船便

RORO or container — we pick what fits

RORO vessel — vehicles driven aboard

RORO

Roll-on / Roll-off

The unit is driven straight onto the vessel. Best for self-propelled machinery, trucks and running vehicles — usually the most economical route.

  • Ideal for graders, loaders, trucks, cars
  • Lower cost for large machinery
  • Fast loading & discharge
Container loading

Container

20ft / 40ft

The unit is secured inside a sealed container. Best for smaller units, high-value vehicles, or when you want extra protection and the option to consolidate parts.

  • Extra protection from weather & handling
  • Good for cars, forklifts, small machinery
  • Can consolidate spare parts

Not sure which is right? We recommend the best method per unit when we quote — you don't have to decide.

Transparent costs 明朗

What a quote covers

We believe in full transparency. Here's what a typical all-in quote includes — and what to plan for separately at your destination.

  • FOB price at the Japanese port
  • Export documentation & inspection
  • Loading & ocean freight (CIF)
  • Marine insurance in transit
  • Real-time shipping updates
  • Destination duties & taxes (KRA / TRA)
  • Inland transport from port (optional add-on)
Duty varies by country and unit. Our team gives you an estimated duty for Mombasa or Dar es Salaam before you commit, so there are no surprises at the port.

FOB vs CIF — quickly

FOB
Free On Board

Vehicle loaded at the Japanese port. You arrange freight & insurance.

CIF
Cost, Insurance, Freight

Everything in FOB plus ocean freight and marine insurance to your port.

We quote both so you can compare fairly. Most first-time importers choose CIF for one simple, complete price to the port.

Good to know 質問

Shipping questions, answered

How long does shipping take from Japan to Mombasa?

Typically 3–5 weeks after loading, depending on the vessel schedule. Dar es Salaam sailings are similar. We share the vessel name and ETA the day your unit is loaded, and update you on arrival.

Do you handle customs clearance?

Yes. Our clearing partners at Mombasa (KRA) and Dar es Salaam (TRA) handle customs and port release. We coordinate the paperwork so you don't have to chase it.

Will I get updates while it's shipping?

Yes — you receive loading photos, the vessel name and ETA, and progress updates by WhatsApp or email through to arrival and delivery.

Can you deliver to my town, not just the port?

Yes. Door-to-door inland delivery across Kenya and Tanzania is available as an add-on. We quote it upfront so you can choose port collection or delivery to your site.
